Description

nixpkgs has some pretty old C and C++ compilers, particularly gcc48, gcc49, and clang_5.

Afaict none of them are used anywhere.

There was an attempt to remove gcc49 in #77985, but it was ultimately kept. One argument in favor of keeping the gccs around was mobile-nixos, but that does not seem to use them any more.
