You can modulate over anything you want, e. g.
   MODULATORS = OSREL
   MODULATION_OSREL = $(GAROSREL)
This builds one tree per OS release in
   work/build-osrel-5.8/
   work/build-osrel-5.10/
You then must define mergerules on how to assemble these trees into a  
pkgroot/.
Please let me know if I can be of any assistence on this. It can be  
confusing for
the unaware, but for exactly these situations were modulations made  
for :-)

This has been fixed in r3059:
   <http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/gar/changeset/3059>
Please update your GAR tree and recheck.

Don't worry, if you know how to build gcc, we can build a package out  
of it.
