It is fine if gcc still compiles with older > versions, but all communication should point to the most recent releases. It's common practice to list the minimally required versions of dependencies for software packages, so I'm not sure why we shouldn't do it for GCC. Besides, we don't want to force the users to upgrade the libraries if this is not necessary.
