Hi Rebecca,

Aspirationally, yes.  I did a successful CROSS_TOOLCHAIN=amd64-gcc
buildworld earlier this week.  (It doesn't play well with binary pkg's
built with Clang, so I ended up replacing it with a Clang-built world
instead, but it compiled.)

Unfortunately, amd64-xtoolchain-gcc is stuck on GCC 6.4.0, while
you're running the much more recent GCC9.  I think GCC6.4.0 is more or
less expected to build world today, but I don't think many people are
building with GCC9.  I would love for amd64-xtoolchain to move to a
newer version, but I don't know what is blocking that — it seems like
it should be straightforward.

Best regards,
Conrad
