Maybe. Probably. But it's not guaranteed.

IIRC, it compiles both the most recent release and the current git master. To 
do that, it needs all of the latest stuff. The odds of it working with the 
released compiler rather than the one in git master are far, far higher than 
they used to be, but it still may not work some of the time.
