GCC has been removed from the core of FreeBSD

According to the previously established plan set of GCC compilers, has been removed from the FreeBSD source tree. The GCC build along with the base system for all architectures was disabled by default at the end of December, and now the GCC code has been removed from the SVN repository. It is noted that at the time of removal, all platforms that do not support Clang have switched to using external build tools installed from ports. The base system included an outdated release of GCC 4.2.1 (integration of newer versions was not possible due to the transition of 4.2.2 to the GPLv3 license, which was deemed unacceptable for FreeBSD core components). Current releases of GCC, including

GCC 9 , can still be installed from packages and ports as before. GCC from ports is also recommended for building FreeBSD on architectures that rely on GCC and cannot switch to Clang. Recall that starting with FreeBSD 10, the base system for i386, AMD64, and ARM architectures has been transitioned to supply Clang compiler by default and the libc++ library developed by the LLVM project. GCC and libstdc++ for the mentioned architectures have long since stopped being built as part of the base system but continue to be supplied by default for powerpc, mips, mips64, and sparc64 architectures.Release of Chrome OS 80
