I disagree:
- for the existing exclusions, there is no corresponding exclusions in
the gcc choice, so we'll have to add them should a newer gcc
supports them;
- and for those, it will actually be easier: we'll have this commit to
just revert. And not evem that, because my ultimate goal is that
each architecture defines what minimum gcc version it requires:
https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/log/?h=yem/aarch64-cpus
with the change to gcc and ARM:
https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/commit/?h=yem/aarch64-cpus&id=95fec656d85fbed488cc666848ecacf011850a93
https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/commit/?h=yem/aarch64-cpus&id=18d10caf174129479e47df3c04d799e285870db3
But until then, this patch is still needed.

Yann E. MORIN.
