Agreed. And _if_ it has to be used, then hopefully the USE_GCC=x.y+ variant (the one with the + at the end) can be employed. As for software which requires a specific, rather old version of GCC to be built, I hope we can get this down to a minimum. For example, at $DAYJOB where we have a couple of thousand packages as well, this is not an option for our developers: everything needs to build with the one and only blessed version of GCC (which is 4.1 at this point); no older versions are provided, let alone supported. I am not proposing this for FreeBSD, but among others it definitely helps in terms of supporting non-i386 architectures.
