This reminds me: Should we merge USE_GCC=any into USE_GCC=yes again?

I understand why you created USE_GCC=any back in the days, and it has 
served a useful purpose.  

These days it only makes a difference on powerpc64 (and sparc64) since
everywhere else USE_GCC=any already is the same as USE_GCC=yes.  Which 
means essentially everyone tests their ports with GCC 8, even in case 
of USE_GCC=any.  And essentially nobody tests with GCC 4.2, so things
tend to get missed or broken on powerpc64.

Everyone using the same version of GCC, across platforms, would 
alleviate that.
