I like gcc updates, because they can add C++ features and help my
powerpc machine with newer C++ code. I won't soon try lang/gcc/8 on
powerpc, because my PowerBook G4 is busy with building other ports.
I built your lang/gcc/8 on amd64, then tried to use its gfortran with
some fortran ports. I'm using the old 8.tgz from Mon 31 Dec, so I
don't have the mips64 changes in the new 8.tgz from Wed 2 Jan.
I was able to build math/blas, then build math/lapack, but now I can't
test math/lapack:
opa$ make test
===> Regression tests for lapack-3.7.1p0
cd /usr/ports/pobj/lapack-3.7.1/lapack-3.7.1/TESTING/MATGEN && gmake

lang/gcc/4.9 installs a symbolic link from bin/gfortran to
bin/egfortran, but lang/gcc/6 and lang/gcc/8 don't install this link.
The wrapper at /usr/ports/pobj/lapack-3.7.1/bin/gfortran allows blas
and lapack to run gfortran during `make build`, but lapack can't run
gfortran during `make test`.
I wonder if other ports also run compilers during `make test`, and
whether they use the wrappers in /usr/ports/pobj/*/bin.
I used this diff to set gcc 8 as the fortran compiler.
