    initial v1  
    11If my memory serves me correctly, OpenBLAS itself does not specify anything w.r.t. gcc. It uses the compilers portgroup which does this for it.

    3 I guess what happened is when gcc9 was added and made the default gcc version, gcc9 became the default variant for ports like this, but due to the way macports works anyone who previously had it installed with gcc8 as the vairant, would not be automatically switched up. Macports does not really have a neat way to handle this.

    5 Its not clear to me why OpenBLAS really needs to expose the gcc version used as a variant ? If it is just to get a compiler version, I think it would be better served just making the decision on which to use internally, and to not expose that decision to the user via a variant. I am not sufe I see the advantage in do so, and it has disadvantages like those here.
