That is not noted anywhere. Maybe it's a good idea to note this somewhere?

I'm not sure we've ever reported required compiler versions for the
Ceph toolchain. :/ I'd merge a PR doing somewhere, probably in the
README file.

But honestly to do that properly we'd have to keep track of which
version of gcc will build the source, and I have a suspicion we won't
notice anything like that unless it breaks our gitbuilders — which
include a CentOS 6 one using standard tools, so the necessarily
compiler is at least readily available! :)
