import GCC 5.3.0. see these urls for details which are too large to include here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html
(note that GCC 5.x is a release stream like GCC 4.9.x, 4.8.x, etc.)
the main issues we will have are:
The default mode for C is now -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu89.
ARM: The deprecated option -mwords-little-endian has been removed. The options -mapcs, -mapcs-frame, -mtpcs-frame and -mtpcs-leaf-frame which are only applicable to the old ABI have been deprecated.
MIPS: The o32 ABI has been modified and extended. The o32 64-bit floating-point register support is now obsolete and has been removed. It has been replaced by three ABI extensions FPXX, FP64A, and FP64. The meaning of the -mfp64 command-line option has changed. It is now used to enable the FP64A and FP64 ABI extensions.

highlights from: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/changes.html
GCC now has stricter checks for invalid command-line options New -Wunused-but-set-variable and -Wunused-but-set-parameter warnings Many platforms have been obsoleted Link-time optimization improvements A new switch -fstack-usage has been added A new function attribute leaf was introduced A new warning, enabled by -Wdouble-promotion Support for selectively enabling and disabling warnings via #pragma GCC diagnostic has been added There is now experimental support for some features from the upcoming C1X revision of the ISO C standard Improved experimental support for the upcoming C++0x ISO C++ standard G++ now issues clearer diagnostics in several cases Updates for ARM, x86, MIPS, PPC/PPC64, SPARC Darwin, FreeBSD, Solaris 2, MinGW and Cygwin now all support __float128 on 32-bit and 64-bit x86 targets.

highlights from: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.7/changes.html
The -fconserve-space flag has been deprecated Support for a new parameter --param case-values-threshold=n was added Interprocedural and Link-time optimization improvements A new built-in, __builtin_assume_aligned, has been added A new warning option -Wunused-local-typedefs was added A new experimental command-line option -ftrack-macro-expansion was added Support for atomic operations specifying the C++11/C11 memory model has been added There is support for some more features from the C11 revision of the ISO C standard Improved experimental support for the new ISO C++ standard, C++11 Updates for ARM, x86, MIPS, PPC/PPC64, SH, SPARC, TILE* A new option (-grecord-gcc-switches) was added
highlights from: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html
GCC now uses C++ as its implementation language. This means that to build GCC from sources, you will need a C++ compiler that understands C++ 2003 DWARF4 is now the default when generating DWARF debug information A new general optimization level, -Og, has been introduced A new option -ftree-partial-pre was added The option -fconserve-space has been removed The command-line options -fipa-struct-reorg and -fipa-matrix-reorg have been removed Interprocedural and Link-time optimization improvements AddressSanitizer, a fast memory error detector, has been added [*2] A new -Wsizeof-pointer-memaccess warning has been added G++ now supports a -std=c++1y option for experimentation with features proposed for the next revision of the standard, expected around 2014 Improved experimental support for the new ISO C++ standard, C++11 A new port has been added to support AArch64 Updates for ARM, x86, MIPS, PPC/PPC64, SH, SPARC, TILE*
