I saw that GCC 8 has been added to the toolchain from this commit, so how do I use it? https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/139f99c05880508b19308eed366d8fbf5804fbf9
Advanced...-->Toolchain Options, but you may still run into issues depending on target; i.e. even with the 8.2 GCC patch mvebu.
Be aware some packages may break the build ...
