FWIW, I understand that they carry pgcc (http://www.goof.com) which may
be very risky under Linux. Linus doesn't even recommend the latest gcc
because he likes to keep his kernel dependent on the old (non-standard)
features.
Look in the archives, I recall someone benchmarked the new gcc on this
list. the FAQ on goof.com is also interesting if you want to try out
pgcc on FreeBSD.
cheers,
Pedro.
