I see that NetBSD-current is using gcc4 now, so I assume the pkgsrc devs will be doing the needed fixing. > After a quick look there seems to be a GCC_REQD variable in the > Makefiles for the GCC version number, although pkgsrc being pkgsrc > there are probably other variables. I found that putting CCVER=gcc41 in make.conf and mk.conf doesn't work, but typing 'CCVER=gcc41 bmake' on the command line does. This problem will go away when we settle on gcc4* as the default.
