Re: GCC 5.x, specifically section [2]
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html#offload

Although these changes are great, I'm not sure we currently need them for
Mesos itself.
I agree with you that they could make lots of frameworks rock, and I don't
think the gcc version for mesos prevents that:

   - We use protobufs to communicate between services which allows:
   - Executors can be compiled using a totally different compiler from
   Apache Mesos
   - Frameworks can be compiled using a totally different compiler from
   Apache Mesos
   - This means you can have a super optimized custom executor that takes
   advantage of all the benefits of GCC 5.X running on a Mesos built on GCC
   4.8 or Clang 3.5!

Hopefully this clarifies why this is not actually crucial, and why you
won't be missing out on any benefits!
