Re: Interaction between lang/gcc10 and archivers/zstd

[Chavdar Ivanov <ci4ic4%gmail.com@localhost>]

I had zstd installed; I just tried gcc10. I don't know why, I never
looked at the log file, but the first 'make' in lang/gcc10 with the
default settings (under amd64 -current from today) failed; subsequent
'make' with no changes whatsoever completed without any problems.
