I've just landed patches to change our minimum supported target GCC version to 4.7.
This does not affect the host compiler as mentioned earlier in this thread. That check is being added in bug 1142352. Once the blocking issue there has been sorted, it looks like the minimum version for the host compiler will be set to 4.6. As far as I can tell the host and target versions of GCC on try are all 4.7 or later. So, it may be that if you use features that are only available in 4.7 or later and these are compiled using the host compiler as well, then you will get build failures somewhere else in the release pipeline. My (admittedly pretty incomplete) understanding is that this doesn't affect too many areas. Some breakpad tools and nsinstall were mentioned on IRC, but there may be others.
