Maybe that is what you are looking at and misreading the check there. Note gdb, binutils, and GCC all updated to 2.69 back in 2018. gdb/binutils commit d0ac1c44885daf68f631befa37e3f3bad318fbbf gcc commit r9-3776-g22e052725189a4 Yes they have not updated to 2.70 or 2.72 yet. But with a complex build system as GCC/binutils/gdb, why update to something if it is working.
