+
+Two new ports have been created: package:lang/gcc16[] and package:lang/gcc17-devel[].
+
+link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294062[PR 294062] about arm64 build failures has been fixed.
+More precisely, in 2026Q2 package:lang/gcc16-devel[] and package:lang/gcc17-devel[] have been fixed, while package:lang/gcc16[] has been fixed in the beginning of 2026Q3 (at the time this report is written the patch still needs to be forwarded to the ports quarterly branch).
+Unfortunately, the solution is local to the FreeBSD ports tree and cannot be upstreamed directly.
+Discussion for an upstream solution can be found in the link:https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125182[upstream bugzilla].
+Thanks to all those who have helped, in particular to Mark Millard.
+
+I have not worked personally on the link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292692[process] to get GCC_DEFAULT=15 this quarter, but some work is being done in the associated PRs, so this is getting forward as well.
+Moreover, minor version updates to package:lang/gcc13[], package:lang/gcc14[] and package:lang/gcc15[] are planned.
+
+As I continue to work on the GCC ports, I realize that I am having less time and less energy to put into them.
+These ports are important, I prefer not to leave them unmaintained at least until I am able to deal with them, even if slowly.
+But if there is someone who would like to take them, please stand up and I would be glad to transfer maintainership.
