gcc9 9.5.0 is not supported on Darwin 17 i386

[SmritiM84]

I am getting an error "gcc9 9.5.0 is not supported on Darwin 17 i386". Is it possible to install an older version of Swarp compatible with my system? I am attaching the main log, with the relevant error at the end.

The swarp port doesn't appear to have a dependency on any gcc port?

But in my case it seeks permission to rebuilt gcc7, gcc8, llvm-6.0, rust and cargo. On granting the permission, it tries to get libgcc9 and then fails as mentioned before. The log file should be self-evident. I am not sure what is wrong here.

After installing or upgrading any port, MacPorts runs "rev-upgrade" (unless you've asked it not to do that). This checks if all installed ports' libraries are linked correctly. If they aren't, it reports the problem and asks if you want to rebuild. This has nothing to do with the port you were installing or upgrading at the time.

gcc9 and earlier are no longer compatible with macOS High Sierra. You should uninstall them and, when you need to use gcc, use gcc10 or newer.

Closing, since we are not fixing gcc9 to be compatible with newer systems. Use a newer gcc port instead.
