--- Comment #1 from Gerald Pfeifer <gerald at FreeBSD.org> ---
This is mine, I'll take care.

To actually make recognize GCC 8 as a valid option, we actually need
a lang/gcc8 port; lang/gcc8-devel is tracking snapshots and does not
fit into the framework.

GCC 9 is undergoing early development right now and definitely not
suitable for general usage, so setting it as a default or using it
a la USE_GCC=9 is nothing anyone would recommend supporting.
