 > Do you advise that I remove gcc48 and then make gcc9 or gcc10 the active
 port?

 Oh, absolutely, if your code base has been maintained at all. gcc10 has
 many improvements over gcc48, but some old, bitrotted code may not compile
 with gcc10 without updates.

 Every version of a compiler is more strict than the one before, so code
 needs to be cleaned up on an ongoing basis. Which is good, really...
