Hey,

Using gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4) (GCC).

Do you know if there are any compiler options (or a patch) to mitigate the
so called: Meltdown and/or Spectre vulnerabilities for this specific
version of the compiler?
Based on what I read over the internet, the answer is NO. Such options and
a patch are available starting from GCC 8:

Thanks,
Vassilena
