It is old, but not ancient and still supported.  And as Teck says, if
its the disto standard compiler we definitely need to make sure it works.

But the whole section mismatch thing is very annoying because its a
behaviour which changes a lot from version to version, and is also very
sensitive to config options and even small, semantically neutral code
changes.
