I've just got a BDN9 rev2 keyboard from Keebio, and tries to build a custom QMK
firmware using py-qmk. It installs arm-none-eabi-gcc from ports, which is
currently having version 8.4.0. The built image is broken, and the board can't
boot.
I've tried to build on a Debian 10 (having arm-none-eabi-gcc 7.3.1), and it
creates good image.

Either we should clone an older version of the arm-none-eabi-gcc port (such as
7.3.1) and put it into the ports tree, and make this port (py-qmk) depend on
the older version, or figure out some other way. I don't expect QMK to be
changed to be compatible with GCC 8.4 soon. Maybe we can wait for further
updates to GCC and expect newer versions to produce good image, although there
seems to be known issue with GCC 9
