Again, I advocate for s/current/modern/.  What is "current"?  It can be
4.9 for some people, 5.0 for others, and "why should I care" for everyone
else. ;-)

Plus, on some platforms, even on -CURRENT, GCC 4.2.1 is *the current* base
compiler.

"Modern" does not suffer from this bug: 4.8, 4.9, 5.0 are all, well, pretty
modern.  Even PowerPC users won't consider their base GCC 4.2.1 as "modern".

I'm still hesitating about "Build with" vs. "Use".  I'm thinking of cases
when GCC bits are required, but not exactly to build things.  At this point
I'm more inclined towards "Use modern GCC (from ports)" but still not 100%
confident it's the best wording.
