Thankyou for your comments and guidance.

Currently i am trying to first move from krogoth version of yocto to rocko
version first that will suffice our requirements but i need to understand
whether any major difference is there in gcc 4.9.3 vs gcc 6.4. As krogoth
is usin gcc 4.9.3 /5.3 recipe but rocko is using 6.4/7.x as recipe for gcc
source compilation. Please guide.

Regards,
Rohit Jindal
