Some packages (ports) need compiler (mis)features of other GCC versions than the one OpenBSD uses as its system compiler. In order to build those packages, developers needed to make the required tools available, and so forth. Using the separately packaged compilers to build the base system was never the intended purpose, you can of course try if you're feeling adventurous, but you most likely will find that when it breaks, you get to keep the pieces. - P -- Peter N.
