Just ISL, not cloog or ppl, as documented:
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html
That's for trunk, for a specific release see the docs included in the
release sources. No currently supported release needs cloog or ppl.
GCC 4.9 needed isl and cloog.

It already has been:
-floop-block
-floop-unroll-and-jam
Perform loop nest optimizations. Same as
-floop-nest-optimize. To use this code transformation, GCC has to be
configured with --with-isl to enable the Graphite loop transformation
infrastructure.
If you look at the manpage for an old release then you'll see the
requirements for the old release.
