Suggested patch

We have successfully moved from GCC 4.8 (unmaintained at that point)
to GCC 4.9 (unmaintained at that point) to GCC 5 (maintained for a
bit longer) to GCC 6 (maintained for about another year) in the last
12 months, which was good progress.

In the course of that, a number of ports were fixed to actually also
build with clang, specify their requirements better, updated to newer
versions, or at least adjusted to work with newer versions of GCC.

This is now the next step, to bring us truly ahead of the curve again.

Let's see how many ports need to be fixed (once again), and how long
that takes this time...
