I'm not currently set up to run more than head on
any of amd64, powerpc64, powerpc, aarch64, or armv6/7
(which are all I target). And I'm in the middle of
attempting a fairly large jump to head -r320458 on
those. (powerpc 32-bit and 64-bit just failed
for libc++ time-usage compiling now that 32-bit has
64-bit time_t, including in world32/lib32 contexts
for powerpc64.)

It will likely be a while before I manage to have a
11.x context (without losing my head contexts), much
less examples from all "my" 5 TARGET_ARCH's. (Given past
wchar_t type handling problems (e.g.) for gcc targeting
powerpc family members I think it should be checked.)
I'll have to find and set up disks: I do not even have
such handy/ready at the moment.

[I got into this area by being asked questions, not by
my direct use of release/11.0.1 , stable/11 , or a
draft of release/11.1.0 .]

I'll let you know when I have some test results but
others may get some before I do.

[In my normal/head environment I'm switching to lang/gcc7-devel
for gcc (from lang/gcc6 ) but I'm odd that way.]
