 The following compilers are known to compile OpenTTD:
 
 - Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) 2015, 2017 and 2019.
-- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 3.3 - 4.4, 4.6 - 4.8.
-    - Versions 4.1 and earlier give bogus warnings about uninitialised variables.
-    - Versions 4.4, 4.6 give bogus warnings about freeing non-heap objects.
-    - Versions 4.6 and later give invalid warnings when lto is enabled.
-- Intel C++ Compiler (ICC) 12.0.
-- Clang/LLVM 2.9 - 3.0
-   Version 2.9 gives bogus warnings about code nonconformity.
+- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.8 - 9.
+- Clang/LLVM 3.9 - 8
 
 The following compilers are known not to compile OpenTTD:
 
+In general, this is because these old versions do not (fully) support modern
+C++11 language features.
+
 - Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) 2013 and earlier.
-   These old versions do not support modern C++ language features.
-- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 3.2 and earlier.
-   These old versions fail due to OpenTTD's template usage.
-- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.5. It optimizes enums too aggressively.
-   See https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/issues/5513 and references therein.
-- Intel C++ Compiler (ICC) 11.1 and earlier.
-    - Version 10.0 and earlier fail a configure check and fail with recent
-       system headers.
-    - Version 10.1 fails to compile station_gui.cpp.
-    - Version 11.1 fails with an internal error when compiling network.cpp.
-- Clang/LLVM 2.8 and earlier.
-- (Open) Watcom.
+- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.7 and earlier.
+- Clang/LLVM 3.8 and earlier.
