This page outlines the GCC support in several major/popular Linux distributions. For each distribution and GCC version, it lists the latest version of that distribution that ships with the specified GCC version.
| GCC version | 5 or later | 4.9 | 4.8 | 4.7 | 4.6 | 4.5 or earlier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Debian | (unstable) | 8 (jessie) | -- | 7 (wheezy) | -- | 6 (squeeze) |
| Ubuntu | 15.10 (wily) | 15 (vivid) | 14 LTS (trusty) | 13 (raring) | 12 LTS (precise) | 11 (natty) |
| Mint | -- | -- | 17 (rosa) | 15 (olivia) | 13 (maya) | 11 (katya) |
| OpenSUSE | tumbleweed | -- | 42.1 | 12.3 | 12.1 | 11.4 |
| Fedora | rawhide | 21 | 20 (heisenburg) | 18 (spherical) | 16 (verne) | 14 (laughlin) |
| Arch Linux | current | -- | -- | -- | -- | 2010.05 |
| Slackware | current | -- | 14.1 | 14.0 | -- | 13.37 |

The rightmost two columns contains versions for which support is being dropped, as the targeted GCC version will now by 4.7.
The following C++11 language features are unsupported either in GCC 4.7 or in MSVC 2013 (VC12):
- Alignment support (alignas, alignof)
- C99 preprocessor (variadic macros, etc)
- constexpr
- inheriting constructors
- inline namespaces
- Unicode character and string types
- user-defined literals
- unrestricted unions
- attributes
- ref-qualifiers
- "magic statics"
- noexcept
Additionally, decltype is not fully standards-complying in GCC 4.7, while r-value references are not fully standards-complying in MSVC.
