 I hope they might backport the patches from master to gcc 8, MSYS2 has
done this apparently. But, of course, there is no guarantee whatsoever that
they do it.

 This is for the official upstream version, yes, but Debian has already
backported some patches from master.

 I thought about actually trying to backport these patches into Debian
myself, but I'm not sure if I want to make _that_ much effort...
