Yeah, true, """Likewise for the linux-gcc job CC=gcc-8 was changed
to the implicit CC=gcc, which would select GCC 9.4.0 instead of GCC
8.4.0.""" that you wrote is exactly about it.

I was confused because immediately after that you said it was not a
bug, so I dismissed it as not part or the real issue.  Perhaps
striking that "not a bug" part may make it less confusing?  I dunno.

Yes, I agree that is a good idea, too.  Or you can steal the "before
and after" table I gave you in the message you are responding to, if
you think it helps.

Thanks.
