+Building on older systems
+-------------------------

+If the system gcc is too old for building OpenFOAM, a third-party gcc or
+clang/llvm installation can be used. If building clang/llvm, note that
+there are also minimum gcc/g++ requirements there:

+If your system compiler is too old to build the minimum required gcc or
