I wonder if we should just have a !GCC8 and it's expected the user will

boot the correct one or double click on it before compiling to switch

the tools used.

 

The shared library packaging won't be a problem. I think we just need

a package with the GCC8 shared libraries that depends on the basic

SharedLibs package.
