This could be a major problem with other components of egcs in the
future.  The Fortran compiler, g77, uses a version of libf2c.a, and it
may one day conflict with the FreeBSD version.  Many people will
have /usr/local/bin in their paths before /usr/bin and /bin.  I suggest
that the egcs compilers should either be installed with different names
(e.g., gcc becomes egcc, g77 becomes eg77) or the port should be installed
into /usr/local/egcs (possibly with symlinks in /usr/local/bin).
