Hello,

I am the maintainer for the GCC ports, sorry for the late response.
I have created a bug report to track this issue, so we do not forget
about it:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281681

Is the bug only about the value reported by readelf? Or is the compiler
actually broken? If the compiler works, what is the value reported by
readelf for binary compiled by it?

Thanks for your bug report,

Lorenzo Salvadore
