You've done a great job fixing ports, even while this exp-run still has been going on. Without that, things would look quite differently. THANK YOU! Looking how close we are towards being ready for the update to GCC 5, versus what https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html describes in terms of changes, I really prefer to go for the update "really soon now" as opposed to possibly having to wait quite a bit longer. At least we'd then be on a version of GCC that's not been EOLed. If you are open to help again, I'd prepare an update to GCC 6 relatively soon after the update to GCC 5 has gone in. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
