14.2: AMD Ryzen7 CPU and gcc-5.x issues
by rshepard from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4PWEW)
My new desktop has an AMD Ryzen7 2700 CPU on an Asus Prime X470-Pro motherboard. Slackware-14.2, fully patched, is installed. I've had issues with applications not building or, in the case of jpilot (an essential business and personal tool for me), it builds but segfaults when trying to load.
According to these two threads the issue is with gcc-5.x and the new hardware:

https://community.amd.com/thread/215773
The incompatibilities apparently were fixed in gcc-6.x. I see that -current has gcc-9.x. Is there a way for me to upgrade 14.2's gcc suite with the one from current? I need a production machine (this will be my new server/workstation) so I probably don't want to run all of -current on it.
All ideas, suggestions, and recommendations are needed.
Regards,
Rich
