difficulties building gcc from ports collection

uname -a FreeBSD test21.eng 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Fri Dec 6 13:38:10 PST 2002 root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/350-GODSPEED-4.7 i386

I've been trying to build a documentation package called "synopsis" ( http://synopsis.fresco.org/index.html ). It requires gcc 3.x.

I have gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD]
So, of course, I cd'd to /usr/ports/lang  to build a later version of gcc.
I  tried gcc33 first (to no success) and then gcc32 (different errors):

        cd /usr/ports/lang/ gcc33
        sudo make install
        Making GCC 3.2 for FreeBSD 4.7 elf      target i386-portbld-freebsd4.7
        >> Attempting to CVS checkout from
        :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/gcc.
        cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to subversions.gnu.org(199.232.41.3):2401
        failed: Operation timed out
        >> Couldn't CVS checkout gcc-3.2_20020518.
        >> Please try again later.
        *** Error code 1

        Stop in /usr/ports/lang/gcc33.

        cd ../gcc32
        sudo make install
        Making GCC 3.2 for FreeBSD 4.7 elf      target i386-portbld-freebsd4.7
        >> port_gcc32_2002-09-02.diff doesn't seem to exist in
        /usr/ports/distfiles/.
        >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://relay.nuxi.com/obrien/.
        fetch: port_gcc32_2002-09-02.diff: Undefined error: 0
        >> Attempting to fetch from
        ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/.
        fetch: port_gcc32_2002-09-02.diff: File unavailable (e.g., file not found,
        no access)
        >> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
        >> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again.
        *** Error code 1

        Stop in /usr/ports/lang/gcc32.

then I tried gcc31 - I get a lot further...

but I get a lot of warnings: ../../gcc-3.1.1/gcc/combine.c:10573: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned

still, it did eventually build and (with nudging) install.

Have people built 3.2?
Should I worry about the errors building 3.1?
