From abc741af16311cb473b7e3185ae34265b243d804 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 16:45:26 +0100 Subject: sanity: Require gcc 5.0 minimum version After polling various develoeprs, its clear that many layers are struggling with gcc 4.8 and its better for the project to adopt 5.0 as a minimum version at this point in time. We should have technology like buildtools-extended-tarball available to ensure things still work on Centos 7 and Debian 8.
