We don't plan to do so. It would increase the complexity significantly. Instead, Buildroot can exclude packages that require a recent native compiler, using the symbols BR2_HOST_GCC_AT_LEAST_X_Y. So in your case, you could add 'depends on BR2_HOST_GCC_AT_LEAST_5' to the Config.in of amstParseSharedLibraries. Clearly, that doesn't solve your problem because you simply will not be able to build your packages. However, you can fairly easily build gcc7 yourself and install it somewhere in your PATH. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
