Compatibility arguments make 4.8.4 a better pick for the rest of HPC ecosystem,
today.
There are some reference URLs in the intro comment of that PR for the
interested reader.

Unfortunately, that one we tried today and didn’t work :) for a reason fixed
like this:
eb --from-pr 1294 -Dr <something> # something is a directory which has
g/GCC/GCC-4.8.4
It relates to the fact that GCC/4.8.4 was in develop branch and #1294 builds
atop that.
Alternatively, if you have a github account you may try to use in this way:
https://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Installation_Alternative.html?highlight=develop#installation-of-latest-development-version-using-provided-script
(this has worked for me in many tough-to-crack situations)
enjoy,
