GCC 9 was released earlier this year, it is now available in Debian testing/unstable. I am planning to do the defaults change in mid August, around
the time of the expected first GCC 9 point release (9.2.0).
There are only soname changes for rather unused shared libraries (libgo) involved, and the gnat defaults change will be handled separately by the Debian
Ada maintainers. The fortran module changes look ok according to Alastair McKinstry.
The gcc-9 package still ftbfs on kfreebsd-*.
We still have local patches for at least the various mips, kfreebsd and hurd
targets. Please forward these upstream and make sure that these are applied upstream.
The two MIPS libffi patches have been accepted upstream (i.e. in the
libffi git repository) 1.5 years ago for one and 4 years ago for the
other. I know there hasn't been any recent libffi release, so what can
be done to sync the gcc repository? Would it be possible to stop using
that outdated embedded copy and use the debian libffi package instead?
