The GCC developers are proud to announce another major GCC release, 11.1.

This release switches the default debugging format to DWARF 5 [1] on most
targets and switches the default C++ language version to -std=gnu++17.
It makes great progress in the C++20 language support, both on the compiler
and library sides [2], adds experimental C++23 support, some C2X enhancements,
various optimization enhancements and bug fixes, several new hardware
enablement changes and enhancements to the compiler back-ends and many other
changes.

Some code that compiled successfully with older GCC versions might require
source changes, see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-11/porting_to.html for
details.

without support from its many contributors.
Not only its developers, but especially its regular testers and users which
contribute to its high quality.  The list of individuals
is too large to thank individually!

GCC 11.1 released

I saw the release announcement just as I uploaded the set of prerelease binaries for kernels on all supported architectures to https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/.

Aside from the version number, it should be identical to the release. I'll rebuild the released sources once I hear from someone successfully testing the binaries I made.
