Ah, I see!

Isn't it essentially what FreeBSD has done a bit ago?  I do understand
the consequences you are facing, not that one alternative would have
been GCC 4.10 hence gcc410 and all sorts of problems with GCC 5.0 at
a later point in time (even keeping the versioning scheme).  Rock and
a hard place, I guess.
