Hi,
I tried to upgrade gcc from 7.3 to 8.3 by copying
gcc directory from https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core.git
(openembedded-core/meta/recipes-devtools/gcc)
to meta-custom-layer/recipes-gcc,
replacing requires to recipes-devtools/gcc/*inc in all bb files in there,
eg
require recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc-${PV}.inc/require becomes
require gcc-${PV}.inc,
changing gcc and sdk Version in local.conf to 8.%
GCCVERSION = "8.%"
SDKGCCVERSION = "8.%"
and by removing gcc-initial dependency from glibc.

After that, bitbake core-image-minimal fails at do_populate_sysroot

Do I have to perform something additional to be able to use gcc 8.3?
