<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf8" >-->We are starting rolling upgrade to 5.0.3-x and gplbin compiles with non-fatal warnings at that version. It seems to run fine. The rest of the cluster is still at 4.2.3-10 but only at RHEL 7.6 kernel. Do you have a reason to not go for the latest release on either the 4- or 5- line?
