Description Khem Raj 2015-04-08 01:43:03 UTC 
gcc 5.0 is releasing soon this summer. We should consider adding this to 1.9 release. If we want to switch to 5.0 as default for 1.9 can be decided later when we see this works good. There is plenty of work for packages to work with gcc 5.x

I already have the patches to update us to gcc 5.0 on a contrib branch

patches are posted for review
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2015-07-23 20:46:10 UTC 
Do we want to close this as resolved (as 5.1 is an option in oe-core) or re-title and re-schedule as "use gcc 5.x by default"?
Comment 3 Khem Raj 2015-07-23 21:09:54 UTC 
I think this one should be closed and a new one opened for making it default.
