Versions 11 and 12 (predating gcc-for-host) include a lot of cross-architecture undeclared file conflicts. Doing archive wide conflict analysis is dominated by these two packages and poses a significant additional cost on that work. Yes, just keeping them poses a cost. Now it s up to you and me how to deal with that. I see three possible routes forward: * Delete them from the archive * Fix the undeclared file conflicts * Exclude them from conflict analysis I hope you can see how I find the first option most attractive, but then I'm probably missing parts of the bigger picture.
