Cilk SDK Tools & GCC 5 Compatibility

A previous post by an Intel representative mentions:

GCC does not support intrinsic functions that are required to instrument the code as of 4.9, so you will have to use the "cilkplus-4_8" branch if you want use the tools with GCC.

Are the Cilk SDK Tools (cilkview and cilkscreen) compatible with GCC 5.1 or 5.2?

Hi Warren,

The only GCC branch/version that works with Cilk tools is the last cilkplus branch (cilkplus-4_8), and we never had a mainline GCC version that supports the data structure / intrinsic functions required by Cilk tools.
