That ^^

FreeBSD on x86-es and arm64 ships with clang 8, 10 or 11 depending on the 
FreeBSD version; everything supported is clang 10-or-later.

FreeBSD on PowerPC (Power 9) is gcc -- gcc 9 or later I think.

OpenBSD latest release lists clang 8 and gcc 4 and gcc 3 .. let's assume / 
hope they use clang as the compiler for KDE bits.

OpenIndiana / Illumos (OpenSolaris) lists gcc 7 as the base compiler.


Linuxes not in "the big five" that I happen to have on-hand:
- KaOS (Debian-ish) has gcc 9.3.
- Manjaro (Arch) has clang-10 and gcc 10.
- ArcoLinux (Arch) has gcc 10.
- Netrunner 19 (Debian) has clang-7 and gcc 8, this is the oldest distro I'm 
still running, mostly for its pre-Qt 5.12 state.


I think you'll be fine, even on obscure or outdated systems.
