Looking at the output, it seems like those bots may still be using GCC 6.4.0 (but I could be wrong here).

The jsc-mips and jsc-armv7 EWS bots, as well as the corresponding
buildbots have been updated. They now use gcc 8.3.0. The armv7 softfp
ABI buildbot[1] still needs updating, but there is no corresponding EWS.
I hope to have that last update done during the week.

Cheers,

Guillaume
