GNU Compiler Collection — C, C++, Fortran and more
GCC is the standard compiler for Linux systems, supporting C, C++, Fortran, Go, and more.
`apt install gcc` on Ubuntu Noble gives you GCC 13. GCC 14 and 15 include significant RISC-V specific optimizations — better vectorization using the V extension, improved code generation for the RVA22 profile, and new intrinsics. Developers targeting modern RISC-V hardware need these newer versions but cannot get them from package managers.
```bash
wget https://github.com/Cloud-V-10xE/RISC-V-software/releases/latest/download/gcc-
sudo tar -xzf gcc-
