We've required gcc-6 for ARM since v2018.01, and we were warning about
that for a while longer than that, due to toolchain issues.

That said, my commit message is clearly not clear enough.  We don't
require gcc-6 for everyone, we require support for -std=gnu11, and that
goes back a long ways.  It's just that since some platforms require
gcc-6 we've started having (and this is good, the code is cleaner!) some
C-11'isms sneak into the code.  For example, sandbox now fails to
compile on older hosts due to a for (int i = 0; ...) in cmd/iotrace.c
