Thanks! The product I'm working on is *extremely* careful about compiler
version changes, and there would be endless questions about "have we got an
old version?"

When I say "extremely careful", the build system for it refuses to build if
the compiler version has changed and the new version hasn't been registered
as the correct one. The product is very sensitive to changes in floating
point expression optimization, so new compiler versions have to be
validated. We have done compiler upgrades without finding new problems, but
even in the present day, those are quite rare.
