supporting all the gcc versions between gcc 8 and 12 on older systems will be
quite a bit of work and require a lot of build time for poor users of these
systems.
To have libgcc7, the way it is now, you need to build libgcc13, 12, 11, 10, 9,
8, and then 7.
That is -- a lot of gcc building for
I was not aware that supporting the bootleg crippled 10.6 PPC pre-beta had
anything to do with why nobody had gotten around to updating the gcc version
used on older systems.
At least, it was not anywhere on my radar.
Just -- nobody did the legwork.

Let me make another, final attempt to sort this out once for all and for
everyone on old systems.
I got an idea how to satisfy Ken’s preference of not supporting ppc builds on
10.6 in gcc ports and my need to support those.
That was the stopper so far, not allowing an agreement to merge.

You should not need gcc8. I had gcc11 working on 10.5 ppc (and ppc64 too). I
have seen people using gcc13 on 10.5 ppc following my instructions from the PR.
What is the point of gcc8?
You build gcc10-bootstrap and then use it to build gcc13. Nothing else needed
in between.

Hi,
after all the talk about gcc versions, I tried to build gcc 8 here.
Officially it says "gcc8 is known to fail".
I first did just "build" on Intel 64bit and PPC 32bit - Intel 32bit
later, I fear my MacBook has fan issues.
Intel 64bit finished build! Took several hours. I thus tried to
