Hi Andrew, Thanks! I've created the first draft as a GitHub PR here: <https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/35919>
I think it still needs some work on the part where it builds LLVM utilities with CMake. As much as I want supporting only the newest GCC version, Spack currently supports building all stable versions of GCC from the tarballs, as well as latest develop branch, so I've enabled all versions >= 10.

Just match the dates and you'll probably be fine. We've mostly synchronised the ABI changes across the GCC mainline and the development branch precisely because the Newlib dependency is shared. Right now the required version of Newlib is 4.3.0.20230120. Prior to the ABI change a month or so ago you would have to use a Newlib snapshot. I wouldn't recommend spending very much of your valuable time on enabling old versions of these toolchains. Andrew
