    18 As I said, I acknowledge the move will have to happen sometime. The question for me is if there is a need to move regularly, keeping up with the latest stable gcc, or if its OK to stick to one for a while and then jump a few in one go. At this time I am not sure I see the pressed need to move from 4.8 to 4.9.

    2020> > Note that root only uses gcc for an F77 compiler, so on that basis it makes no difference what so ever which is used. I maintain the variants just to allow users who do build from source, for whatever reason, the ability to choose incase they have a preference (for instance maybe they already have one gcc installed, and do not wish to get a different one).
