Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2021-01-16 18:16:02 UTC
The example commands could be:
    $ gcc-config latest
    $ gcc-config ${CTARGET}-latest

It should also be useful in cases like https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass/toolchain.eclass#n2173:

```
	else
		# The curent target is invalid.  Attempt to switch to a valid one.
		# Blindly pick the latest version.  #529608
		# TODO: Should update gcc-config to accept `-l ${CTARGET}` rather than
		# doing a partial grep like this.
		target=$(gcc-config -l 2>/dev/null | grep " ${CTARGET}-[0-9]" | tail -1 | awk '{print $2}')
	fi
```
