* Requiring GCC 5 as minimum GCC version for building glibc on the basis

openSUSE Leap 42.2 (aka SLE 12) has gcc 4.8 as the system compiler.

Is it possible to use the Toolchain Module to get a newer GCC version?

Both Leap and the toolchain module offer gcc5 and gcc6.  But what you
call as gcc will remain 4.8.

Do you think that results in a major inconvenience?

Thanks,
Florian
