Comment (by mouse07410):

 OK. If it works, it works.

 I'm just pointing out that the naming and the dependency chain for this
 set of ports is rather counter-intuitive; and if/when something breaks,
 the user is left very much puzzled (as I was myself, merely trying to
 update/refresh gcc8, and getting a message that out of the blue libgcc9
 failed to install).

 But since I don't have a useful suggestion how to simplify it, I guess
 we'll keep it as is. ;-)
