Seems like every one else has to wait a year+ to get a change in. Jordan points out GCC 4.7 support has been missing for a year. It seems like Olivier has had to keep a patch for BaseTools around for over a year too. I'm going to need to submit update for Xcode 5.0 support and I have no idea when these changes will end up in edk2. Probably the next time a fix is needed for the UDK as that seems to be what is driving the release cycles, but it hard to know since the planning is not public. Why does it take a year to add a new complier to the edk2, or even a new version of a compiler?
