--- Comment #3 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni at free-electrons.com> ---
For custom external toolchains, we simply let the user specify which gcc
version the toolchain uses, and check that at the beginning of the build. We
don't try to prevent the user from using an unsupported gcc version depending
on the selected architecture, and I don't think we want to go down this route.
Especially since custom external toolchain quite often use vendor-specific gcc
versions that are patched to support additional features/processors, and
unnecessarily restricting the set of gcc versions to use would not be very
nice. For example, a patched gcc 4.8 could very well support lp64.

So I don't think we'll try to solve this problem.
