--- Comment #11 from Gerald Pfeifer <gerald@FreeBSD.org> ---
I reported the situation around GCC (aka lang/gcc* in our Ports
Collection) upstream, which did not lead to a resolution in terms
of code, thus I'm moving forward to patch important lang/gcc* ports
-- initially lang/gcc7 as the default, next lang/gcc8 as the future
default, and lang/gcc9-deve -- still hoping for some fixes to come
in upstream.

Older versions, and -devel versions that are actively maintained
upstream still and feature a stable sibling I'll leave as is for the
time being; users should hardly need those, let alone in combination
with FreeBSD 12.


Personal opinion: removing gets() burns a lot of cycles for a number
of us for pretty much zero practical security benefit.
