Hello!

I am not an expert either. May knowledge is sort of "if it builds with 
gcc-10 and gmake test is ok then i am happy - FAIL otherwise".

At the moment i don't find time to work through the gcc7-package-list 
(since 06.08.2023 now) and the new room for my little daughter (3) isn't 
ready yet..

We are only a few people that are using illumos-based distributions, and 
we all have to work together, everyone with the time and skill that is 
there.

Whilst being here i learn about how much work it is to keep a 
distribution on time, and sometimes how complicated it is to 'only' 
compile a packages with a different compiler :-/

I am interested in assisting and will do so when i find time again.
