Except that we really try hard not to set to specific versions.  I view
setting GCC_REQD directly as almost always a bug.

Probably, this is a clue that a higher c or c++ std is needed, and
USE_CC_FEATURES or USE_CXX_FEATURES.

Reading the bug, I see talk of C++20.

Of course, for a lightweight wm, you could file a bug that it needs an
unreasonably recent compiler.
