There are many PNBLACKLIST in other layers in recipes which don't even
build with gcc-6 and other which possibly have more issues in runtime.
But I agree that it's easier to officially support just one default gcc
and I'm in favour of removing 5.x from oe-core.
We also used to have gcc 4.3 in meta-openembedded/toolchain-layer which
was removed in:

Remove toolchain-layer
If there is enough interest to share the 5.x recipes somewhere, then
people actually using/testing it should do that and I would accept
meta-openembedded patch reviving toolchain-layer with 5.x in it.
