Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2017-07-05 20:26:27 UTC 
GCC 6.4.0 was released on 2017-07-04.

There are plans to reorganize hardening (including enabling some features by default) and making such changes in a new version (such as 6.4.0) is optimal due to toolchain.eclass, so users seeing this bug should wait patiently.

Attention: weird upstream link

Today I wanted to try gcc-6.4.0 but it misses the command
ebuild gcc-6.4.0.ebuild manifest
because there is no upstream:
>>> Downloading 'http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gcc/gcc-6.4.0/gcc-6.4.0.tar.bz2'
...
2017-07-11 00:43:24 ERROR 404: Not Found.

I looked into upstream ftp directory at http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gcc/gcc-6.4.0
gcc-6.4.0.tar.gz                                   04-Jul-2017 10:12    127M
gcc-6.4.0.tar.gz.sig                               04-Jul-2017 10:14     280
gcc-6.4.0.tar.xz                                   04-Jul-2017 10:14     73M
gcc-6.4.0.tar.xz.sig                               04-Jul-2017 10:14     280

All other upstream release - including http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gcc/gcc-7.1.0/
do have a release packed using bzip2
only this 6.4.0 does have tar.xz

There was no chance for me as a Gentoo user to edit and try a gcc-6.4.0 ebuild:
There is no source link there to edit - maybe in an eclass :(

In case it helps: 
I tested 6.4.0 by re-compressing the official xz to a bz2, using the same patches as for 6.3.0 (just copied the gcc-6.3.0-patches-1.0.tar.bz2).

All patches apply cleanly, it compiles and installs without any other changes.

This is not weird LOL.

Weekly snapshots now use xz compression [2017-05-24]
    ...instead of bzip2.

per upstream homepage.
