According to https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ powerpcspe is a tier 2
platforms for us. Which according to
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#_tier_2_developmenta=
l_and_niche_architectures
means that we guarantee basic support for ports.
GCC 8 has been unsupported upstream since long time.
Since neither GCC nor us actually fully support powerpcspe, I would say
on the contrary that it is about time that this port expires.
Of course Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk should be patched too however.
Cheers,
Lorenzo Salvadore
