Adafruit SAMD Boards v1.5.6 doesn't install working gcc+ compiler

The arm-none-eabi-g++ compiler is used for the SAMD boards. However, when I install the v1.5.6 board to compile on a M4 board, I get an error that Arduino can't use/find the arm-none-eabi-g++ compiler.

The solution on both Mac and Linux is to use v1.5.5 of the board library.

It looks like the SAMD card package is in version 1.8.4. Why are you trying to use this previous version?
