SubjectRe: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 65/95] powerpc: remove old GCC version checks
From
Date
Hi Sasha,

I don't think GCC 4.6 is the minimum supported for 4.14

As far as I can see, commit cafa0010cd51f ("Raise the minimum required
gcc version to 4.6") has not been applied to 4.14 and I can't see any
reason such a commit should apply on a stable branch.
