+      <p>Long awaited, the update to GCC 4.9 as the default version of
+	GCC in the Ports Collection (<tt>lang/gcc</tt> port,
+	<tt>USE_GCC=yes</tt> in Makefiles) has arrived, up from GCC 4.8.
+	This brings quite a number of improvements, see <a
+	  href="https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html">https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html</a>
+	for details.</p>
+
+      <p><tt>lang/gcc49</tt> has moved to the GCC 4.9.4 release which
+	marks the closure of the GCC 4.9 branch and release series.</p>
+
+      <p>(Yes, this means we should rather get the next version
+	upgrade for <tt>lang/gcc</tt> in place soon.  That update per se
+	is straightforward, but any help in addressing the fallout of
+	broken ports would be great &mdash; please let us know if you
+	want to help!)</p>
+
+      <p><tt>lang/gcc6</tt> has been updated first to GCC 6.2 and then
+	GCC 6.3, bringing a fair number of fixes, and should now be
+	finely suitable for production use.</p>
+    </body>
+
+    <help>
+      <task>Update <tt>lang/gcc</tt> (and hence <tt>USE_GCC=yes</tt>)
