This is exactly what I did and it seems to have worked just fine.  I've
completed one full cycle of building my usual complement of packages on
and for netbsd-9/amd64 from pkgsrc-HEAD with gcc10.

The only nagging bit is that when running 'pkg_rolling-replace', 'tsort'
reports "cycle in data" due to potential circular dependencies.  Eventually
these reduced to just "gsed, gcc10" and "digest, gcc10" and appear to
be harmless otherwise.
