Just a heads-up, that p.mask list would happen to include firefox and 
thunderbird right now.

And pdftk. It needs gcj, and has no usable alternatives.

What should I keep in my system to continue to use (and maybe recompile) 
pdftk?

No, i'm good with keywording gcc-6 still.  I'm just not Ok with 
firefox and tbird and others being p.masked for removal simply because 
they don't build.


Also its worth noting that the gcc-6.3 build failure is apparently not 
absolute, there are people that have built mozilla stuff fine with 6.3

 So if we don't p.mask those, is them breaking with gcc-6 still enough
 to keep gcc-6 out of ~? If not, I definitely +1 what lu_zero said,
 let's add ~keywords to gcc-6.

As I said few times, we should dump gcc-5 sooner than later and any
software that does not build with gcc-6 should be p.masked and dropped
from the tree if there isn't a nice fix for it.

So, I'm not seeing anything wrong in ~ gcc-6.
