This certainly makes more sense than jumping to 7.1. I'm under impression that gcc .4 release is the one causing the least pain so until v7 hits .4, I'd also keep away :) One interesting thing with new gcc is offloading, see https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Offloading ... do we have any ideas yet how to handle this from the software repository perspective, since it is at least partially hardware dependant? And a more general question ... what do easybuilders think about LLVM? Is it at the state where having it as a base toolchain would make sense? -- Jurij Pečar HPC Engineer, IT Operations, IT Services EMBL Heidelberg, Meyerhofstraße 1, 69117, Heidelberg, Germany Room 13-401
