Thank you to the wonderful David Malcolm for implementing this - who also does a tonne of work with mentoring for GCC's GSoC programme, and working on docs to help new people get into GCC: https://gcc-newbies-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html.

I should also say that if you want a distribution that makes it very easy to have multiple GCCs installed at once and is recognised for its high-quality toolchain maintenance, you know where we are ๐
Portage uses copy_file_range and friends when merging packages to the live filesystem when it can by providing wrappers of some Python stdlib functions.
If XFS (or another "good" backing fs is used), it can take advantage of it for you.
We've found a bunch of bugs over the years through this, in various filesystems, actually!

@thesamesam @gnutools That's David Malcolm's work! I wish we could clone him!
