With GCC 8.2 out now (and hence also the fix of an minor C++ 
ABI bug introduced with GCC 8.1) I have now made this change 
to Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk.


If anyone can help me with the finishing touches of changed the
default to GCC 7 and start working on GCC 8, that would be great
and much appreciated!
