Stable update to newer GCC versions soon?

Hi there,

I see that there are test packages for newer versions of GCC, but the 
stable packages remains on the older GCC 13. I've encountered internal 
compiler errors when compiling unit tests for python-pybind11, and I was 
wondering why the test versions haven't been marked stable yet, as they 
might fix the issue.

If the answer is that more testing needs to be done then I may volunteer 
myself for that as it would probably benefit me to have a newer stable 
compiler. Also, can I report the internal compiler errors upstream or 
can I not due to downstream Cygwin patches?

Best,

Hamish
