Well I've got egcs installed and it doesn't hose the standard
compiler. I can still build kernels, and the world, with no problems.
The message in the +DESC file is a little mis-leading:
Beware: This port installs new versions of "gcc", "g++", "c++"

PATHs if you don't want to use this compiler by default.

As you can see, it installs it as ``eg++ and egcc'':
