Agreed.  And _if_ it has to be used, then hopefully the USE_GCC=x.y+
variant (the one with the + at the end) can be employed.

As for software which requires a specific, rather old version of GCC
to be built, I hope we can get this down to a minimum.

For example, at $DAYJOB where we have a couple of thousand packages
as well, this is not an option for our developers: everything needs
to build with the one and only blessed version of GCC (which is 4.1
at this point); no older versions are provided, let alone supported.

I am not proposing this for FreeBSD, but among others it definitely
helps in terms of supporting non-i386 architectures.
