Hi Gerald Right now the default GCC is GCC_DEFAULT_VERSION= 4.6 For some time lang/gcc46 doesn't build for me on ia64. However, lang/gcc47 and lang/gcc48 do. There are quite a few ports which I cannot update because they depend on lang/gcc46 via USE_FORTRAN= yes. So I wonder if there are any side effects or unexpected effects if I just change GCC_DEFAULT_VERSION= to e.g. 4.7? I know there are also ways to require a specific GCC version for a specific port via /etc/make.conf, however, this seems tedious. And anyway, 4.7 will be the default soon, right? Please comment
