It was/is indeed gcc5-devel, & I am compiling it up now, so all is well 
AFA it does indeed appear to compile OK & work (I have gotten some 
inhouse to compile up today, to test it overnight). Sorry for the 
confusion :-/. On a related topic, it would be sweet if the devel 
compiler were installed in /usr/local/bin, w/ a slightly different name 
(gcc5X, gcc5d, maybe gcc521(X|d), you get the picture), for convenient 
back-to-back comparisons if req'd ....
