If you intend to use USE_GCC in the sense that it is used now, for a larger number of ports; or to allow the wide use of some other compiler from ports, then you must consider how to deal with the new circular dependencies that may be introduced. For example, right now, if you build any of: lang/perl5.10 devel/binutils devel/gmake devel/bison math/gmp math/mpfr converters/libiconv devel/m4 devel/libtool22 with USE_GCC=4.4+, you will introduce circular dependencies that will wreak havoc in the current Ports infrastructure. Unless some of these ports are added to the base system, or only base system compilers are used, you will probably have to devise an alternative method for determining the dependencies of compilers and toolchains.
