Comment (by cypherpunks):

 After New Year's disclosures, there is a time to update everything:
 OSes are still patching holes (Stretch looks better),
 binutils 2.30 will be ready in Jan (#16472 is needed for win64),
 GCC 7.3 should include new mitigations (GCC 6.4 could be a first step in
 upgrade, GCC 5.x is no longer supported),
 otherwise LGTM.
