Replying to [comment:22 jdemeyer]:
> David, there are so many bad versions of gcc miscompiling various
packages that it's pointless to start making a list. Better state
something along the lines of "(Version 4.0.1 or later, but preferably a
recent version)"
OK, will do. But is it worth documenting that some versions don't work on
particular platforms, without going into details about which versions and
on which platforms? (Such detail could be added to the Wiki at
http://wiki.sagemath.org/SupportedPlatforms)
We currently have the situation that Sage will not build with the latest
gcc. That's both the current version of Sage (4.6.2) and I suspect 4.7
will not build either, since there's no progress to my knowledge on the
Singular issue - see #11084, although that has been reported upstream.
