V8 will follow Chromium's lead and will stop providing infrastructure for GCC builds. We will still accept patches from the community but we will not invest in keeping this build functioning. To give projects time to adjust, we will perform this change after V8 version 13.0 in September 2024.

Thanks. I think at least nodejs will try to keep gcc support alive...

MSVC support is also removed. Upstream recommends building with clang-cl.

Currently this issue is more of a hint to myself. gcc builds have been broken a few times in the past and clang builds are much quicker (2hs instead of 3h). I'm aware of issues with cross compilation of clang libraries and gcc R and packages, that's the only reason why I'm still building with gcc.
