Hi Gerald,

I reported already that devel/kBuild/Makefile has in its
Makefile:

USE_GCC=3D  any

and devel/kBuild is what causes the lang/gcc* build. (I
reported more than that but it is the part relevant here.)

Additional information (gained later) is that if I "pkg
delete gcc6-devel" then instead of devel/kBuild trying
to install lang/gcc6 it tries to install lang/gcc (no
number). If I clean that out and put back lang/gcc6-devel
and try again it goes back to trying to install lang/gcc6 .

It appears to be picking up that a gcc is installed when
lang/gcc6-devel and that it is is version 6 based but then
it looks for lang/gcc6 specifically but does not find it
and so tries to install lang/gcc6. Its identification of the
version is not enough to identify what specific gcc port
to look for but it only looks for the one possible source
to satisfy the dependency --and not finding that specific
port it then tries to install that specific port that it
did not find.

By contrast when no lang/gcc* is present (none installed)
because I've also deleted lang/gcc6-devel it goes for the
default gcc rather than a more specific version: lang/gcc .

This varying behavior might give a clue about what to look
for in the USE_GCC=3Dany mechanism.



Side notes:

On powerpc64 I was able to install both devel/powerpc64-gcc
(with work around for the fact that it is not a true
cross compiler in this context so 6 files do not stage
right) and lang/gcc6 and no conflict was reported.

The mentioned workaround for my context is:

# more ~/powerpc64-gcc_fixup.sh=20
#!/bin/sh
cp -ax =
/usr/obj/portswork/usr/ports/devel/powerpc64-gcc/work/.build/gcc/gcov =

man1/powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-gcov.1.gz

after which I use -C with portmaster to let it continue now
that it can find the 6 files when it tries to.



There are other issues in how things are operating and
I'll not look into them until after I've gotten some sleep
(or even later then that).
