Hi Mark,

I've done that earlier today:

  r474663 | gerald | 2018-07-15 05:59:51 +0000 (So, 15 Jul 2018) | 6 lines

  Add support for GCC 8 (and the newly added lang/gcc8 port).  USE_GCC=8+
  is now feasible, for example.

Given that this is still the first release of the GCC 8 series, 
I'm a bit hesitant to add it there.  Too many folks too eager 
running into problems and then not knowing how to go about it.

I'd rather wait for GCC 8.2 which is due this summer.

(Anyone who really wants to go for it can do this nevertheless,
it's just nothing I'd like to encourage at this point.)

Hope this makes sense?

Gerald
