Something along the lines... - * GCC 6.2 or newer + * GCC 6.2 or newer (For some architectures specific later versions needed) - GCC 6.2 or higher is required. In general it is recommended to use - the newest version of the compiler that is known to work for + GCC 6.2 or higher is required. ARC architecture needs gcc 8.2 or later. + In general it is recommended to use the newest version of the compiler .... > > An alternative in some cases is increasing the global minimum.
