Hi,

The base compiler is supposed to compile base and bootstrap whatever
else you need to compile other software.

It's not supposed to be continuously updated to new, major versions. :-)

I bet *office just uses a bunch of either horrible syntax that breaks
things, or newer C/C++ features that are buggy in older compilers.
They could've made their code compile on older compilers.. they just
haven't bothered.

In any case, why hasn't that port been blessed with the "requires gcc
4.6+" port option/dependency? I thought that's why we _have_ that.
