Which port management tool did you use to rebuild the updated ports? I just checked what portmaster does, and it appears to build gcc-9.1 before starting to update ports that depend on it. It was the 78th port out of 653 out-dated ports (most of them due to a bumped port revision because of the gcc update), and I checked with "make all-depends-list" that none of the first 77 ports depended on gcc ... > Should an install of gcc9 preceded all updates?

Updating required build tools before ports that require them should be automatic, if a tool like portmaster, portupgrade or poudriere is used.
