  • -fcf-protection is only available since gcc 8
  • -mgeneral-regs-only for x86 is only available since gcc 7

Hence the failing CI since commit 4a3b0a4

Shipped gcc versions in Ubuntu:

  • 18.04 LTS: gcc 7
  • 19.04: gcc 8
  • 19.10: gcc 9

Do we still want to support the old gcc versions? If not, we should remove them from the CI check.

The problem for -mgeneral-regs-only still remains

dgruss commented

but only for gcc < 7 ?

I think we can deprecate gcc 6

Yes, gcc >= 7 works fine now
