Question regarding min reqd dejagnu version

Well the intent of the change was to ensure that we are using a version
of dejagnu that will work with gcc version 5 or later, which seems pretty
old to me.  Do you have a suggestion for a better minimum version, or do
you think that instead tests that do require newer versions of dejagnu
should check for that before they run ?

Did that go in ?  I thought that I had managed to keep it out.  I will check.
