That's about time ... GCC 6.1 is out ...

Funny enough I haven't noticed any issues with that on Linux; at some point I 
started using GCC 5 (and now GCC 6) without rebuilding my whole system, and 
haven't run into any issues. Maybe that means that libstdc++ is linked in as a 
private library and designed in such a way that different versions can be 
loaded in memory? I do remember that clang itself cannot be built with GCC 5 
(on Linux, clang 3.5 IIRC).
