I'd build 4.6.1 now.
(I retested the same instructions with a 4.7.0 snapshot shortly after
that branch was created, so I am quite confident they'd work for 4.6.1
as well.)

On Solaris, you might need to upgrade something else as well.

Oh, you _do_ need to build the prerequisites mentioned on that wiki
page: gmp, mpfr, mpc. Or you may have them built along with gcc (this
is briefly mentioned on the wiki page as well), which is likely a lot
easier for a one-time build.
When I wrote that you only need to upgrade gcc, I meant that you don't
need to upgrade any other things that are present in Owl, most notably
binutils (Owl 3's version of binutils is already recent enough for
current gcc and recent CPUs, including with AVX). gmp, mpfr, mpc don't
exist on Owl at all, so clearly you do need to provide those (but that's
not an "upgrade").
I hope this helps, and thanks.
