MacPorts 2.6 - Leopard 20.6 and libgcc8

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

I don't know if it is related to the 2.6 upgrade or it is "just" an 
upgrade, but on Leopard 10.5, I get the following:

--->  Cleaning curl

--->  Computing dependencies for libgcc8.

now... it means I can't have (yet) gcc8...
Maybe we can make the dependency of libgcc less stringgend... or Ken is 
already doing some magic for gcc 8 support?

In my experience, gcc 8 is an evolution of gcc6 which is a "good" 
compiler, but gcc8 broke quite some things (like... ArcticFox compilation)
