build platform / compiler updates for 18.3 planned ?

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Matthias,

We currently don't have any concrete plans on doing this for 18.3, but 
there is definitely interest in it, specifically from hotspot. I 
personally doubt there will be time to achieve it in such a short time 
frame though, so 18.9 is a more likely target.
