Of course I fully understand we want to avoid re-building software when
it is not needed, but the fact that a same package version can embed
different binaries bothers me, that's why I decided to bump the
PORTREVISION.

My original thought was more about being able to identify that this
compiler has been used to produce that specific package version. But as
any version of Gcc can be used in this case, this was probably meanless.

Cheers,
