The first release candidate for GCC 8.5 is available from

I have so far bootstrapped and tested the release candidate on
x86_64-linux and i686-linux. Please test it and report any issues to
bugzilla.
If all goes well, I'd like to release 8.5 on Friday, May 14th.
I bootstrapped and tested on powerpc64 power 7 and 8 BE and power 8, 9,
and 10 LE and saw nothing unexpected.
I bootstrapped and tested on i686-darwin8, 9, 10, powerpc-darwin9,
x86_64-darwin10..20.
Test results are as expected - notably:
* Darwin20 bootstraps OK, but it is not very usable without further patches
(which I will push somewhere once the release is done).
* Sanitizer support is poor on earlier systems without use of llvm-symbolizer
(the installed atos program does not handle the sanitizer output well).
(nothing here that’s a show-stopper, but downstream users are advised to
make suitable amendments/installations)
thanks
Iain
