At the risk of starting a kerfuffle, is there any reason to update gcc =
on 8.4 or 9.2 from the GPLv2 version 4.2.1 to something more current?

(I can think of many reasons *not* to, but they all have to do with =
writing code which I am not doing).

I know 10.0 moves to clang (which is familiar to me since OS X changed =
to clang a while ago because of the GPLv3 issues), but I'm not ready to =
move to 10.0 and I know there are still issues with clang and that some =
packages still require gcc.
