This reminds me of why I never want to use an online compiler service - never mind how hard companies push them. If I need to do a bug-fix build of something that was released 2 (or more) years ago I want to use exactly the same toolchain (warts and all) that was used for the original build. If the compiler has changed I need to do a full test - just in case it compiles some 'dodgy' code differently. With the same compiler I only need to test the fix.
