It's build system, doesn't end up being linked into firmware code, so
not sure license compatibility is actually a problem here.

In any case I strongly prefer to fix that in some automatic way which
does *not* require a new GCC12 tool chain definition.

So, any comments how to move forward with this?
Can we take the series as-is?
If not, other suggestions?
Second-best idea I've seen on the list is using 'gcc -dumpversion'.

Is it an option to just raise the minimum required gcc version to
something newer?  gcc5 was released almost 7 years ago ...

take care,
  Gerd
