Hello, I have the following error when trying to compile the zubax_babel product

Compiling config.cpp

Wrong toolchain. You need GCC v6.3.

why do we need a precise version of the toolchain ?
this is not very convenient, especially if an other project needs an other gcc version.

Ultimately, this question should be directed towards the GCC maintainers. There is no guarantee that a binary compiled with a newer or older toolchain will work as expected, so we freeze the version number per release.
