   I do that if I can write the message in an editor that allows me
 that control.  This is written in Juno's reply window, I have no control
 there.

Then use a different MUA.

  Have a look through /usr/ports/devel

   Don't you think that the  gcc  I get in one place of a distribution
 will be the same as that which I get from another place of that
 distribution?  If there is a reason to believe not, please inform me.

Huh?  Did you look?  What does thinking and believing have to do with
anything?
ls /usr/ports/lang | grep gcc
gcc-objc
gcc-ooo
gcc28
gcc295
gcc30
gcc32
gcc33
gcc34
gcc40
gcc41
gcc41-withgcjawt
gcc42
linux-libgcc

It looks like every version of gcc from 2.8 to 4.2.

BTW: I was wrong, the gcc ports are in /usr/ports/lang, not /usr/ports/devel.

 Dear Folks:
   My version of  gcc  doesn't work (reports errors in code that
 compiles elsewhere).  Where can I go to download a later version of
 GNU  code for  gccgdb  suitable for a  FreeBSD  system?  I went
 to the  GNU  site but all I found there was source code ( .c.h ),
 useless without a working compiler.  Also, even if I had found a
 working binary,
 how would I know if it is for  FreeBSD ,  LINUX ,  Solaris , or some
 other system?
   Are there inexpensive but good working commercial compilers
 suitable for a  FreeBSD  system?  If so, what are they and how can
 their distributors be contacted?  What about shareware or freeware?

Have a look through /usr/ports/devel

If you have a recent version of FreeBSD, it will have a recent
version of GCC, and will compile compliant code without trouble.
Since you provided no version information, nor errors, nor examples of
failing code, I can't speculate further.
