+The link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281091[exp-run to update GCC default version from 13 to 14] is getting forward.
+As usual, thanks to everyone involved.
+
+If you maintain any of the affected ports or want to give a hand preparing and testing some patches, you can consider trying adding `-fpermissive` to `CFLAGS` in affected ports as a temporary solution: GCC 14 has transformed some warnings into errors, which is the cause of many of the failed builds.
+The `-fpermissive` flag switches those errors back to warnings.
+However, it is preferable that upstream updates its code to remove those warnings completely so that `-fpermissive` is not necessary, possibily with FreeBSD ports maintainers support.
+If the code is not maintained upstream anymore, the time might have come to deprecate the port.
+
+Work has been done on some bugs too, mainly upstream:
+- link:https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117210[] has been fixed: a recent change in the FreeBSD headers caused a regression in the GCC 15 development version;
+- link:https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=115008[] has been fixed: this was an issue with posix_fallocate failing on FreeBSD on a ZFS filesystem;
+- an attempt to fix bug link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=282797[] specific to aarch64 for -devel ports has failed.
+If you are able to give a hand on this, it would be very much appreciated.
+
+Thanks to everyone who has helped with these issues.
