Do we need to spell out the versions explicitly ? These versions are
all derived from what's available in the repos of the supported build
platforms, similar to any other build deps we have. I don't think we
want to start a precedent of duplicating versions in this doc for
build deps we have, and there's nothing particularly special about
compilers in this respect.

With regards,
Daniel
