The purpose of my current message is just to note that
there are also other applications that have some trouble and,
frankly speaking, GCC 3.3.5 seems extremely old if compared to
GCC 4.0.2.

As far as i can see that has nothing to do with the original posters problem
The error reporting seems very clear, it cant find the cout, endl, <<
(stream operator)
all things that is defined in the iostream library, most likely because
there is no known
place to search for the "iostream(.h)" library.
This has nothing to do with which version of GCC you are running with,
and it is certainly not a hard problem.
There are numerous reasons why the newest GCC isnt used in OpenBSD
Because there are some changes made to GCC in OpenBSD, among those
with regards to propolice, that couldnt be moved easily, plus other
stuff, i think,
but my memory is a bit shady.
Anyways i think there is plenty of discussions in the archieves(misc,
tech ?)
Or maybe it was some articles, but the subject has been turned more than
once!
Alternatives to GCC has ben aired, but shut down for now.(AFAIK <- my
first acronym :))
Here is an article mentioning GCC upgrades for OpenBSD (last in
article) and some
problems that are slowing down upgrading to newer compilers.
A Bit old i know. but a starter maybe.
