I think they are manally updated.  And, GCC 8.1 is not released yet.  It's
a RC version.

I think the issue is: most people building and testing GCC are trying out
experimental version from SVN trunk.  LFS guys (like me) build GCC releases,
but the test result in LFS chroot environment is not accurate (without GDB,
and we can't send the result because we don't have mail clients in chroot).

Maybe someone can create an automatic system to build and test GCC releases?
