Like most of the ones in the compile farm, which run CentOS 7 and have
1.5.1. I've installed a newer version in /opt/cfarm on most of the
machines that need it.

I'm still in favour of updating the minimum version, because otherwise
we have FAILs for correct tests. The old version is just not good
enough.
