I said as long as 4.8.5 works, it is fine with me. If 4.8.2 can be made
to work easily that is useful for the few people who would want to run
GCC 11 on Ubuntu 14 ("Trusty") (note this is EOL already).

It's just that that is the latest 4.8 release, and it is what I see on
all still supported systems that use 4.8.
Arnd Bergmann made a neat overview showing this (and many other things):
