hi folks. i plan to switch amd64 and arm64 to GCC 7 soon. i386, sparc*, mips, ppc, and alpha are probably ready and tested enough for anyone else to try out. 32 bit arm is only just now working so not well tested yet. hppa, m68k, vax, and sh3 all build but have not been tested yet. ia64 and ppc64 are currently not building, and i haven't looked at the hopefully revived riscv port yet, or the or1k. if you'd like to test now from -current, build a clean tree with build.sh -V HAVE_GCC=7. it should just work.. if you need to switch back to GCC 6 afterwards, you'll need to set HAVE_GCC=6 and build a clean install. .mrg.
