The last released version of GCC for which a successful build is reported is 4.9.1 (https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2014-07/msg02093.html), and the last gcc-testresults post I could find was in April 2015 (https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2015-04/msg01438.html), for the GCC 5 branch.

It is actively being worked on (the latest commit is just over a month

other targets, I would say.
