--- Comment #3 from russo@bogodyn.org ---
Yes, this system has FAVORITE_COMPILER=3Dgcc, and for various reasons has t=
o keep
it that way.  Using clang by commenting out FAVORITE_COMPILER in make.conf =
does
let firefox build.   Since there are so many ports (mostly libraries) that =
I've
had to compile with gcc48 for the development that happens on this machine,
that's not an ideal path forward.

I will also try gcc5, perhaps by specifying "USE_GCC=3D4.9+" during the fir=
efox
build.  At least that I can force to happen for upgrades in
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf without breaking all the 4.8-interdependent librari=
es.

Perhaps this is worthy of a note in UPDATING?  Not sure how many folks are
still stuck having to force gcc ports builds in 9.x, but it might help.
