+Supported compilers
+-------------------

+To compile, QEMU requires either:
+
+- GCC >= 7.4.0
+- Clang >= 6.0
+- XCode Clang >= 10.0
Do we need to spell out the versions explicitly ? These versions are
all derived from what's available in the repos of the supported build
platforms, similar to any other build deps we have. I don't think we
want to start a precedent of duplicating versions in this doc for
build deps we have, and there's nothing particularly special about
compilers in this respect.
I agree with Daniel - when I saw this patch, the first thought that I had
was: "This will be getting out of sync quickly" ...
so I'd also recommend to rather not add this here.
