+The link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281091[exp-run to update GCC default version from 13 to 14] has been suspended.
+Indeed it has been noticed that FreeBSD 13.4 lacks symbols that are used by GCC 14 for linking, please see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=284499#c0 for a more detailed explanation.
+The symbols are however already present in higher FreeBSD version.
+Since FreeBSD 13.4 is expected to go out of support soon (on June 30th), it has been decided that it is preferable to suspend the exp-run until then.
+I plan to put it back on track on July 1st.
+
+In the meantime, work is being done on bugs.
+Bugs link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=276070[276070] and https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=284441[284441] have been fixed.
+At the time this report is written, some bugs are being discussed addressing special values of the CPUTYPE variable, please see for example https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285711[285711].
