Hi Since pdftk itself depends on gcj3.x, I cannot make it to build on gcc/gcj 4.0 or 4.1 port. Please enable the build of gcj on gcc34 port. Only allowing gcj to build on gcj41 breaks compatibilty. Let me say another similar example: You may think that gcc3.x port is good enough and we don't need gcc2.95 port. But in fact at least one port that I know need gcc 2.95: Tripwire Tripwire in FreeBSD currently can't be built with gcc 3.x. In order to build Tripwire in FreeBSD gcc2.95 is needed (you can trace the cvslog / old ports archive, I suggest a patch to tripwire maintainer to let tripwire work on FreeBSD 5.x).
