With the latest round of removals for Ubuntu Touch-related packages from
bionic, gcc-4.8 no longer has any non-alternative reverse-depends.

$ liblist='lib(x32|32|64|sf)?(gomp1|quadmath0|atomic1|itm1|objc4|stdc\+\+6|gfortran3|tsan0)'
$ rmadison -s bionic -S gcc-4.8 | grep -E "\b$liblist[[:space:]]"
$ reverse-depends src:gcc-4.8 | grep -vE "\b$liblist\)"
Reverse-Depends
===============
* gcc-4.8-doc                   (for gcc-4.8-base)
* libboost1.62-dev              (for libstdc++-4.8-dev)
* libboost1.65-dev              (for libstdc++-4.8-dev)
* nvidia-cuda-toolkit [amd64 ppc64el]  (for gcc-4.8)
* nvidia-cuda-toolkit [amd64 ppc64el]  (for g++-4.8)

We should drop it from the archive for 18.04.
