• gcc-go for Go
• gcc-objc for Objective-C

Old versions

Old versions of GCC are available via the official repositories and the AUR and may be useful for historical curiosity, old projects that cannot be compiled on the current versions, or for testing the compatibility of projects:

• GCC 4.3: gcc43^AUR
• GCC 4.4: gcc44^AUR
• GCC 4.5: gcc45^AUR
• GCC 4.6: gcc46^AUR
• GCC 4.7: gcc47^AUR
• GCC 4.8: gcc48^AUR
• GCC 4.9: gcc49^AUR
• GCC 5: gcc5^AUR
• GCC 6: gcc6^AUR
• GCC 7: gcc7^AUR
• GCC 8: gcc8^AUR
• GCC 9: gcc9^AUR

Other front-ends for old versions of GCC may be found on the official repositories and the AUR by searching for gcc<version without period>, e.g. searching for gcc9 for GCC 9 front-ends.
