42.2 offers gcc6, so I don't see the problem.
But the default install is:

I asked about updating and was summarily cautioned about NOT being able to change the compiler without breaking the system. I guess if I install another box and can do a text-only install, choose gcc6 and then build from there. I haven't tried to change gcc on opensuse (though I do recall having both 4.5 and 4.6 installed during that period (I think those were the 11.4 days).
I would like gcc6, but don't want to end up breaking all toolchains, etc. if something doesn't go quite right...
I thought it would have just be a rpm -e current gcc and current glibc and then rpm -Uvh newgcc and newglibc, but the discussion on the user-list indicated it was not easily done.
Do you have any rabbits you can pull out of your hat here Jan?
