gcc-11 was built into a side tag. Each build target has a repository in Koji.
This one is

If you worry about ELN-Fedora compatibility, create a new side tag intheriting
from f34 and rebuilt gcc-11 there. Or build a module that anyone interested
can enable on his system.
Sorry, I wasn't terribly clear.
So last year when I was testing gcc-10 against Fedora one of the
recurring issues we had was that if I needed input from a package
maintainer on an issue flagged by gcc-10 we had no good way for the
package maintainer to get gcc-10 rpms to do any investigation on their own.
With the gcc-11 side tag build and eventual landing in ELN that issue
should be much better. So if I need to sync with a package maintainer
on an issue, we have a way to make that happen.
Of course, dropping gcc-11 into rawhide earlier helps this issue too :-)
