Hi,
I am new, and I am currently using pi pico to develop a project.
My GNUC version after check is 10.3.0.
One of the important library however need GNUC version greater than 11. So is there any way to upgrade gnuc version?

Thank you

> Absolutely, we can have reference abitrary direct download links to a `.zip` …or `.tar.gz` instead (if it already has a `package.json` in), same for referencing repos (or even different branches of repos). I already do that in stuff like [platform-ch32v](https://github.com/Community-PIO-CH32V/platform-ch32v/blob/60ac59ab7c37cff8d73ae3d3bdd9f288d9372ba3/platform.py#L56-L63). That's definitely a thing we can pull in at the next platform update, but it should not be causing this specific issue. _Originally posted by @maxgerhardt in https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico/discussions/1647#discussioncomment-6855328_

But given https://github.com/earlephilhower/pico-quick-toolchain/releases/tag/2.0.0-a you can just reference the updated toolchain for your OS, e.g. for Windows,

platform_packages =
   toolchain-rp2040-earlephilhower@https://github.com/earlephilhower/pico-quick-toolchain/releases/download/2.0.0-a/x86_64-w64-mingw32.arm-none-eabi-d3d2e6b.230824.zip

(Starting the debugger will not work in Windows out of the box with this toolchain version though. It will compile though.)
