IRC on our #macports channel is fine to ask questions for which you do
not want to write a lengthy email or to debug problems with quick
back-and-forth on what to check or try.

However, meetings on IRC are slow, as you have to wait for others to
type, you have no notifications whether others still have something to
say, etc.

For such a scheduled meeting, I would prefer audio chat as that would
make the communication more direct and faster.

Discord looks fine to me. Apparently we would not even be the first open
source project to use it [1]. Apparently you can use it directly in a
browser without registration ("claiming the account").

The other well-known option would of course be Skype. However, with
Skype one person would have to collect interested developers first and
then invite them to a group call. With Discord it seems like you can
just create a room that everyone can join, which would be a lot simpler.

There is also Jitsi [2], an open source solution for video conferencing
via WebRTC in the browser. However, browser support seems to be limited,
especially with Safari.

No, since we were not involved in the creation of the openmodelica portfiles 
nor do we host them in our repository, and we have no influence over those who 
do host them to make any modifications. Send your problem report to the people 
who host the portfiles, i.e. the openmodelica people.

Using both gcc5 and gcc7 in a single port would indeed be nutty, if indeed they 
are doing that. Using gcc5 in one port and gcc7 in a different port is 
acceptable, though not ideal.

gcc6 and earlier require both libgcc6 and libgcc. This is normal. Just as gcc45 
and earlier require libgcc45, libgcc6, and libgcc. libgcc provides the current 
stable version of all the gcc libraries, currently those of gcc7. libgcc6 
provides the versions of the gcc libraries that were used by gcc6, where that 
differs from gcc7 (which is only libgfortran). libgcc45 provides the versions 
of the gcc libraries that were used by gcc45, where that differs from gcc6 
(which is libobjc-gnu).
