I don't think it will - but on the other hand the old options won't work with the new compilers any more. At some point we have to decide which compiler versions are supported by default, or we have to setup a sophisticated "options vs. compiler versions" magic.
It won't work with 2.95, but agree with Robert that we need to change at some point.

I will not accept changes that break compatibility if this can be avoided. Many people use older versions of the compiler, last but not least for reasons of stability. There must be support for these older toolchains as well.
Best regards,

This is surely not the worst decision. It would vote for a per-board decision for the compiler, because normally the maintainer knows best which compiler to use for a certain board.
I've posted a reworked test script some time ago which was able to select the compiler per board, see the archive.
