So NetBSD is our biggest constraint on requiring GCC 10
Do we care about the BSDs since they have newer compilers (including gcc10)
available in pkgsrc? If you go by the base system, then RHEL8 has 8.5.0 and
newer version are only available with packages such as gcc-toolset-10 and
gcc-toolset-11.
I mention NetBSD because we had an explicit request to support
7.4 GCC from there, as it was the current system compiler.
Thanks, do you have a reference? I would like to understand the reason
for that (adding Werner too).
For RHEL8, considering that the switch would be several months away
anyway, I don't think it would be an issue to require AppStream toolset
packages. It's unlikely that RHEL8 would rebase QEMU in 2023 and beyond.
