For us, having multiple compilers installed at non-standard locations is very common. I can't say I know where all our customers install our toolchains, but we routinely answer questions about parallel installs, and we also frequently recommend parallel installs as well. I've never viewed multiple-compiler installs as being a big complication. If we're really worried about requiring C++-11 and the impact on the users who build GDB, we could perhaps just organize a poll that asks users how this would impact them, and then request participation on gdb-announce. -- Joel
