FWIW, it's not at the moment. Currently we are really only blocked on
GCC for new C++ features.

GCC 4.9. IIRC it was because of Android build where GCC 4.9 is the
highest version provided by NDK. Have we switched our Android build to
Clang? If so, we should probably also bump our GCC requirement to
unblock more C++ features. This is another topic, though.
