+# Those old versions of GCC are no longer really supported and are not
+# suitable for use as a system-wide compiler. Using them can result
+# in build failures (and possible breakage) for many packages.
+#
+# If you still use one of these as your system compiler, please upgrade
+# and switch the compiler ASAP. If you need them for a specific (isolated)
+# use case, feel free to unmask them on your system.

# Old versions of CUDA and their reverse dependencies. They do not
# support GCC 4.9+, and are really old.
