Which port management tool did you use to rebuild the updated ports?

I just checked what portmaster does, and it appears to build gcc-9.1
before starting to update ports that depend on it.

It was the 78th port out of 653 out-dated ports (most of them due to
a bumped port revision because of the gcc update), and I checked with
"make all-depends-list" that none of the first 77 ports depended on
gcc ...

Updating required build tools before ports that require them should
be automatic, if a tool like portmaster, portupgrade or poudriere is
used.
