numerous gcc installations

Hi list,

    Could anyone please explain to me whether it's really required to 
have two extra versions of gcc installed. I Recently upgraded 
"py25-numpy", which in turn pulled in "gcc-4.2.5_20081126" as a 
dependency. A few days ago  "blas" refused to compile because:

===>    Verifying reinstall for gfortran43 in /usr/ports/lang/gcc43
Making GCC 4.3.3 for FreeBSD 7.1  target=i386-portbld-freebsd7.1
You need to increase the datasize limit to at least 700000 (and set
kern.maxdsiz="734003200" in /boot/loader.conf) to build with Java
support.
*** Error code 1

... so if it wasn't for these missing settings, I would now be the proud 
owner of two extra gcc installations, "gcc-4.2.5" and "gcc-4.3.3". Is 
this correct??? "blas" is required by "py-num", which then effectively 
requires the two gcc's.

    br - Nikolaj
