    initial v1  
    33`libgcc` is a meta-port. It installs the latest version of `libgcc` that should be installed on a given system (depending on the system's capabilities), and it also can install certain bits of libgcc6,7,or8 that are needed for MacPorts but no longer available in the latest `libgcc` version, which is presently `libgcc9`.

    5 It *is* getting more complicated, to be sure, and there have been some hiccups in birthing here and there, but Chris is doing a great job at keeping this all working, for the most part.

    77The reason you're seeing `libgcc8` having a runtime dep on `libgcc9` is that `libgcc8` is incomplete on many systems, and needs `libgcc9` to fill in the rest of the required parts to make a whole `libgcc` installation.
