+
+This quarter we have three main pieces of news.
+
+In January we investigated why GCC 16 weekly snapshots stopped compiling since the last snapshot of November.
+It took many eyes to understand what happened, but eventually the problem was understood and a fix was committed upstream in February.
+The details can be found in the link:https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123366[upstream bug report].
+Thanks to all people who helped, in particular to Mark Millard and mailto:dim@FreeBSD.org[Dimitry Andric].
+
+At the moment package:lang/gcc16-devel[] does not build on arm64.
+Unfortunately I have not found the time to really look into this yet, but I hope to be able to do it soon.
+link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294062[PR 294062] is the bug report that tracks the issue.
+
+The link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292692[process] to get GCC_DEFAULT=15 has started.
+The GCC_DEFAULT=14 update is still recent and GCC 14 is actively supported, so there is no hurry to get this completed; but since those updates tend to be long I have already started it.
+Thus this is not my top priority at the moment: it is is where I put my energy when I have spare cycles, for now.
