devkitA64 release 17

[WinterMute]

devkitA64 release 17 is now available via pacman. Use sudo (dkp-)pacman -Syu to update or sudo (dkp-)pacman -S devkitA64 to install.

devkitA64 release 17

• update gcc to 11.1.0
• update newlib to 4.1.0
• Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.

Full details of gcc 11 changes can be found at https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-11/


Of particular note is the stringop-overflow/stringop-overread/array-bounds warnings that come from writing directly to literal connstants cast as pointers. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99578 for example. These warnings are harmless and can be safely ignored. Upstream gcc hopes to address this issue in the near future.
