Yeah, this one is puzzling to me. We see the same thing on GitLab CI,
and until now I haven't yet figured out why that is.

As far as I can see this means that we don't install GCC at all anymore
via Homebrew. Does this mean that we now rely on the GCC version that is
preinstalled by Homebrew? Won't this break every time that Homebrew
changes the default GCC version?
 
I may be missing the obvious.
