Ah, I don't thinks so. We still only require gcc >= 4.8:
- the manual still references gcc 4.8, even the nightly snapshots:
http://nightly.buildroot.org/#requirement
2.1. Mandatory packages
...
* gcc (version 4.8 or any later)
* g++ (version 4.8 or any later)
- support/dependencies/dependencies.sh still only checks for gcc >=
4.8:
if [ $COMPILER_MAJOR -lt 4 -o $COMPILER_MAJOR -eq 4 -a $COMPILER_MINOR -lt 8 ] ; then
The last time (that I remember of) when we bumped our host gcc
requirement, was with those commits, dated October 2020:
* 5ee815ab6a docs/manual: bump our gcc/g++ requirements to 4.8
* 55fc80260b packages: host gcc >= 4.8 is now guaranteed
I could not find a reference to requiring host gcc >= 4.9 in the commit
logs...
