#     Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6
#     
#     Various architectures fail to build properly with older versions of the
#     gcc compiler.
#     
#     An example from Guenter Roeck in thread [1]:

#     
#     So update the minimum required version of gcc to 4.6.

#      - Update Documentation/process/changes.rst
#     
#      - Remove and consolidate version test blocks in compiler-gcc.h for
#        versions lower than 4.6
