I tried to build devel/freebsd-gcc9@powerpc on a powerpc64 (in an
ELFv1 clang environment) and it reported (listing just one of the
examples that pointed to vec_step):


=
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/devel/freebsd-gcc9/work-powerpc/gcc-9.2.0/gcc/tree-vect=
-loop.c:4595:12: error: expected unqualified-id
      tree vec_step =3D build_vector_from_val (cr_index_vector_type, =
step);
           ^

(Unsure if white handling will still end up with ^
pointing to vec_step.)

clang reserves a name that the gcc source code uses:
vec_step . (I'll not get into the long, messy history
of this name and multiple standards built on top of
C/C++, not necessarily in a language appropriate
way.)

It turns out that:

# ls -laT /usr/ports/devel/freebsd-gcc9/files/

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    231 Dec 25 19:25:26 2019 xtoolchain.mk.in

is missing the patch-clang-vec_step that is in:

I do not know if other differences in the patch
lists might be important to other aspects (in
either direction).
