Hi Paul, Contrary to what I've said in the past, I think it's time to retire support for RHEL5. The end of life for RHEL5 is the end of this month ( https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata). We already have a large number of systems that must be tested (most of which we don't actually test), and if we can constrain the environment we support even just a little it will make life easier for gem5 developers.
Other thoughts?
