(unlessthey upgrade compiler).
 

I think if a user, who runs PostgreSQL on a multicore machine with
high-concurrent load, can take care about installing the appropriate
package/using the appropriate compiler (especially if we publish
explicit instructions for that).  In the same way such advanced users
tune Linux kernel etc.

BTW, how do you get that required gcc version is 9.4?  I've managed to
use LSE with gcc 9.3.
