Kind of hard to update beyond the latest commit in SVN.
Currently using gcc 5.3 (the latest, released in 12/2015).

On my hardware, I've hit an interesting conundrum...

In order to get my touchpad, touchscreen, wifi, and sound to work I had to upgrade to kernel 4.6... In order to COMPILE kernel 4.6, I needed gcc 5+.

The issue is that the kernel module here is linking to old kernel headers that have changed DRM in the latest release (the repo given in this thread patches it). However, they have not upgraded to GCC 5 which changes some flags that have been removed.

What actually needs to happen is DisplayLink needs to get off their lazy asses and fix shit once in a while. They're over a year behind on kernel/gcc releases.
