Hello compiler fans!

As discussed in the RFC, LLVM’s cmake configuration now soft-errors if you use an older toolchain to build. The new minimums are:

\* Clang 3.5
\* Apple Clang 6.0
\* GCC 5.1
\* Visual Studio 2017

You can opt-out of the soft-error with LLVM\_TEMPORARILY\_ALLOW\_OLD\_TOOLCHAIN. You’ll still want to update your toolchain because that soft-error will become a hard-error once we move away from C++11, and we would truly miss you. I will send another RFC for this migration away from C++11 at the end of March 2019.

Happy compiling!
