How long do you leave the condition in? at first I thought this is OK,
but generally we accept that a patch on master can cause a need to
update toolchain. As long as the toolchain patch is upstreamed or
available via RSB git-pull, I think it is fine to let older toolsets
break. One should generally expect to rebuild their toolchain after
git-pull of master anyway.
