Comment (by ccorn):

 One more remark to the experimental `defaultabi4` and `staticlibgcc`
 variants: On my G5 (Darwin 9/PPC), `+defaultabi` does //not// prevent the
 previously described crashes (or rather endless unwind loops) of e.g.
 `octave-gui` and the `botan`-linked `monotone`. I still have to use
 `+staticlibgcc` to get those ports running fine.

 I have run tests for `gcc6` and `gcc7` with both variants enabled
 together. The test results do not differ from those with `+staticlibgcc`
 alone. As described earlier, this means 24 more `g++` testsuite failures
 than without `+staticlibgcc`. (I had entertained the dim hope that
 `+defaultabi4` would make those test failures go away, but alas.) On the
 other hand I can use `monotone` and `octave-gui` again, which is what
 counts for me.
