There were too many regressions. Even disabling the constexpr tests, there 
was
still problems. And the workarounds eventually lead to avoiding usage 
patterns
that are perfectly valid in the library. The only reasonable solution was to
drop support for gcc 5.1.

I do believe it will work on gcc 5.2, but I haven't found a way to add it to
the CI yet, so its not tested on a regular basis.
