Just confirmed that lang/gcc13 builds and installs on my Mac M1 as well.

However, I'm not seeing a way to make pkgsrc use it, either in the guide
or the mk files.  E.g., when building math/blas, GCC_REQD=13 has no
effect, and it tries to install gcc12 as a dep, even if gcc13 is already
installed.

If I'm missing something, please let me know.  Otherwise, I'll start
combing through the mk files.
