You won't see any specific information for a new GCC version there unless 
something specific needs to be done. Which isn't the case for this particular 
update... So, no worry. 

Also, you have to imagine that all ~arch users and all developers have now 
been using gcc 7 for ages. So once it becomes stable, it should really be 
rock-solid. :)

(/me looks forward to testing gcc 8 now... :)

Is there a SYNC entry in make.conf? If neither this nor a repos.conf
file is present, portage uses a default. See man make.conf.
