Re: Building netbsd-8 and netbsd-9 with modern gcc
(Moving to tech-toolchain which seems more appropriate to me)

I've tried to reproduce these issues on the tip of the netbsd-8 and netbsd-9
branches and it doesn't fail for me.
This is using host CC compiler: gcc (nb1 20220722) 10.4.0
on NetBSD 9.99.101 (built around 2022-10-21).
Do you have more details?
I am working on improving tools/compat and its generation of defs.mk,
to allow for more robust detection of supported host compiler flags
for the tools build (e.g., -fcommon if it's still required).
This should also allow for future fixing of tools warnings such as:
warning: unknown warning option '-Wno-stringop-truncation'; did you mean
'-Wno-string-concatenation'? [-Wunknown-warning-option]
warning: unknown warning option '-Wno-stringop-overflow'; did you mean
'-Wno-shift-overflow'? [-Wunknown-warning-option]
