Thank you, Mark. Let me know how it went. In the meantime I'll prepare the change for gcc5 itself. >It looks like the the lang/gcc5-devel build still creates and >uses the headers that go in include-fixed/ but that they are >removed from $(STAGEDIR}${TARGLIB} 's tree before installation >or packaging. > >So, if I understand right, lang/gcc5-devel itself still does use >the adjusted headers to produce its own materials but when >lang/gcc5-devel is used later it does not. Definitely >something to be testing since it is a mix overall. I am not worried about that since that should not cause any binary incompatibilities (ABI). The problem we encountered was about source code and API in a wide sense of that term. >Is some form of exp-like run needed that tries to force use >of a release/11.0.1 built lang/gcc5-devel (-r444563) to build >other things under, say, stable/11 or some draft of >release/11.1.0 ?

I am not aware of it, and while originally I was thinking to request an -exp run (after the GCC version update which is dragging due to broken ports), time is not on our side and the change should be low risk. > [altermative approach] But I guess that did not work out. Not with my current level of connectivity and my notebook a dead brick on top of that. And my preference is to still build, but stow away (unless explicitly requested to keep). >Eventually most of the lang/gcc* 's will need whatever >technique is used. Yes, agreed. Version 5 is most important since it's the default; then 6; 4.x is for retro computing fans ;-), so 7 will then be next.
