So I see, sorry, should have checked first. Still, not much info in that 
thread, though.

I've had a bad experience also, where textproc/p5-XML-Parser does not work 
when gcc is 2.95.4 (FreeBSD 4-STABLE). Setting CC=gcc33 fixes this, so I 
guess it is a bit more complicated than the PR:s say (of course, otherwise 
they would've been committed). What implication do we get if we set 
USE_GCC=3.x in the perl5.8/Makefile?
