To build rvm and ruby-3.1.4-alt1 on loongarch64, I had to replace this dependency with gcc13, and it worked just fine. So, could you please answer the following questions: 1. Why it is necessary to pin the compiler version in rvm-devel requiremets? 2. Is there anything special in GCC 12, or an arbitrary version of GCC can be pinned? 3. What would break if gcc version is updated on a specific architecutre? On all architectures? 4. Is it possible to write a comment answering those questions to the rvm spec file, instead of current comment, which is just stating the obvious? Thanks in advance.
