MacPorts 2.6 - Leopard 20.6 and libgcc8

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

Indeed, gcc8 is not supported on 10.5 or older, and likely will never be.

What is requiring you to use libgcc8 ? You should instead be using libgcc7 on that platform. Note this is what the libgcc port is there for, to set up this dependency correctly.
