I understand Rebecca has helped with this, too?  Do the two of you think 
we can remove the dependency on USE_GCC=4.8 in the next month or two?

(I confess my "build-time dependency only" change for USE_GCC got stuck
as well, though Mk/bsd.gcc.mk is now nicely simplified, so after some
time sensitive changes I'll finally ge there.)
