Like we did for previous gcc versions, we only want to support one
minor version at a time for a given major branch.

So at the gcc 4 era, it meant we would only package one gcc 4.8, one
gcc 4.9, etc.

At the gcc >= 5 era, it means we want to package only one 5.x version,
one 6.x version, etc.

If you want to fix the problem without waiting for gcc 5.4, what I can
suggest is to backport the fixes for the regression you are
experiencing.
