Thanks, it indeed works. I thought I tested that approach already, but I
clearly didn't.

Please, don't disable gcc9-devel for powerpc*. Even if there are no users of
those on powerpc*, gcc*-devel serve as great testing bed to check that the next
release will build just fine (especially because you don't do tests on
powerpc*). This is why I think that gcc10-devel should build as well, even
though no port depends on it (regarding to my earlier PR about gcc10-devel on
powerpc64 elfv2).

Why are those changes crippling GCC? I understand that it will run slower, but
so is the case already for GCC 7 and 8. I think it's still better from relaying
on bootstrap compiler. It will also make it easier for you to remove GCC 8
ports in the future.
