Getting a Modern Host C++ Toolchain
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-This section mostly applies to Linux and older BSDs. On Mac OS X, you should have
-a sufficiently modern Xcode, or you will likely need to upgrade until you do.
-On Windows, just use Visual Studio 2012 as the host compiler, it is explicitly
-supported and widely available. FreeBSD 10.0 and newer have a modern Clang as
-the system compiler.

However, some Linux distributions and some other or older BSDs sometimes have
extremely old versions of GCC. These steps attempt to help you upgrade you
The first step is to get a recent GCC toolchain installed. The most common
distribution on which users have struggled with the version requirements is
Ubuntu Precise, 12.04 LTS. For this distribution, one easy option is to install
-the `toolchain testing PPA
-<https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/test>` and use it to
-install a modern GCC. There is a really nice discussions of this on the `ask
-ubuntu stack exchange
-<http://askubuntu.com/questions/271388/how-to-install-gcc-4-8-in-ubuntu-12-04-from-the-terminal>`.
-However, not all users can use PPAs and there are many other distros, so it may
-be necessory (or just useful, if you're here you *are* doing compiler
-development after all) to build and install GCC from source. It is also quite
-easy to do these days.

Easy steps for installing GCC 4.8.2:
.. code-block:: console
- wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.8.2/gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2
- tar -xvjf gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2
- cd gcc-4.8.2
- ./contrib/download_prerequisites
- cd ..
- mkdir gcc-4.8.2-build
- cd gcc-4.8.2-build
- %PWD/../gcc-4.8.2/configure --prefix=$HOME/toolchains --enable-languages=c,c++
- make -j$(nproc)
- make install

Once you have a GCC toolchain, use it as your host compiler. Things should
generally "just work". You may need to pass a special linker flag,
