Note the documented requirement for bootstrapping is a "ISO C++11 compiler".
We fail to specifically say which GCC version fulfills this, the GCC 4.8
requirement for non-bootstrap is technically unrelated but it will run into
the same issues I think.
Generally when we refer to a major GCC version picking the latest bugfix
release is always recommended.
I'm posting a proposal to amend the documentation.
