-------
+- Issue #6466: now distutils.cygwinccompiler and distutils.emxccompiler
+ uses the same refactored function to get gcc/ld/dllwrap versions numbers.
+ It's `distutils.util.get_compiler_versions`. Added deprecation warnings
+ for the obsolete get_versions() functions.
+
- Issue #6459: distutils.command.build_ext.get_export_symbols now uses the
"PyInit" prefix, rather than "init".
