The port is still in our tree for the time being, though I marked it for expiration end of February - which gives an extra day this year. ;-) > I would like to, if possible, eliminate gcc6, as it merely adds > build time on the package builders. Is this a concern for all architectures, or mostly non-x86? We can always restrict ONLY_FOR_ARCHS further for such ports if those focusing on those architectures are in favor.

Also there are some small local patches, some backports, in lang/gcc7 and later especially, that really matter. Any FreeBSD port around GCC probably would want to use those - which is not the case right now. Gerald
