 I'm confused by this on multiple levels.
 
 1. I don't think that commit is relevant to pkg/53691; it looks like it
 is trying to fix a completely different error.
 
 2. That commit has a commit message of "lang/gcc8: Make this build on
 macOS Catalina", implying that it is fixing the build of gcc itself,
 but the pull request on homebrew appears to say that it fixes issues
 building software *with* gcc, not building gcc itself.
 
 3. lang/gcc8 does not build for me on macOS Catalina (10.15) before
 nor after that commit.  The error is the same as before:
 
   lipo -output libgcc_ext.10.5.dylib -create libgcc_ext.10.5.dylib_T*
   lipo -output libgcc_ext.10.4.dylib -create libgcc_ext.10.4.dylib_T*
   fatal error: /Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/lipo: can't open input file: libgcc_ext.10.4.dylib_T* (No such file or directory)
   fatal error: /Applications/XCode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/lipo: can't open input file: libgcc_ext.10.5.dylib_T* (No such file or directory)
