I did not have the specific gcc problem
when I tried to build based on the newer
material.

So the specifics have been taken care of.


Points of note . . .

I did have to first have installed (not
via base/binutils):

devel/bison and devel/gmake and a lang/perl5.*

(I had 5.24 installed.) The README did not
indicate such a requirement. (base/binutils
did not build them sufficiently on its own.)

There are what may be odd relationships for
some file names produced for to-be-installed
files for:

base/binutils vs. devel/powerpc64-binutils
vs.
base/gcc      vs. devel/powerpc64-gcc

3 of the 4 use powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-
prefixes but devel/powerpc64-binutils uses
powerpc64-freebsd- prefixes. (Or did last I
built it on a powerpc64.)

There are the /usr/bin/ vs. /usr/local/bin/
sorts of path differences as well so the
matching names for devel/powerpc64-gcc and
base/gcc make for ties to path order.
