KernelCI is using GCC 10 at the minute - it's mainly focused on runtime
testing coverage, we try runtime tests for everything we build so we'd
need to do some work to curtail what runtime test gets run on things
we're mostly doing for build coverage.  IIRC Linaro were supposed to be
doing build coverage of compiler versions at some point but I'm not sure
what the status is or how far back they go if it is running.
