If you don't upgrade the compiler at all, then why does it matter how fast it updates? You're not going to be using the new version anyway.

Depends on the libraries I guess, when that CVE fix is only available on a version that requires a compiler upgrade.

Eventually they will stop making the CPU we use and then the new CPU only works with a new compiler.
