Is there any easy way for humble little upstream maintainers to test
their code with the new compiler?
You mean for the C89 -> C11 default change, or for other changes in GCC 5?
For the former, just build with -std=gnu11 with GCC 4.9 (or 4.8).
The latter is mainly C++ or new features, so something you don't hit on
average C code.
