That corresponds to GCC 14, relatively new

[imciner2]

Yea, I think the problem with these base libraries and GCC is always that we need a newer GCC version to get the newest processor support/optimizations, so it kind of forces our hand in some ways.

Yeah...

Unfortunately, for performance reasons, I require a compiler that supports -march=znver5 for AOCL.

But there might be done way around this issue (statically linking libstdc++ is one). Trying to find a solution with as few side effects as possible.

[giordano]

Maybe for the time being here we can test only nightly.

[aelobdog]

Hmm maybe.
Let me think about it.

If we were to change the runner here to nightly, it would also be better to update the AOCL_JLL and the AOCL packages' compat to 1.12 right?

[imciner2]

I don't think we need to put that strict a compat on the package. This is basically a problem with the underlying libraries on the OS I think, so if someone has a newer OS, the JLL would still work I believe.

Yeah, that makes sense.

@giordano, @imciner2 if everything looks ok, I will go ahead and merge this.
