5.2.1 has GCC 3.3.3 - don't know whether some lower versions of FreeBSD 5.x also had it (they're all GCC 3.x based), but you wouldn't want to install anything below 5.2.1 anyway (if you decide to go for FreeBSD 5). > Otherwise, are there any decent guides of how to setup GCC properly after > upgrading 2.95 (FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE).

The source tree is only guaranteed to compile with the system compiler (from that very tree). If you need GCC 3.x on FreeBSD 4, use one of the ports, but you will need to build your world with /usr/bin/gcc (a.k.a. 2.95.4). Ports should work just fine with gcc 3.x, but you should not mix and build some with gcc 2.x and some with 3.x. This is mainly because C++ name mangeling has changed in 3.x (read c++ shared libs compiled with different versions of GCC are incompatible). Simon
