Since this may affect many of you, let me provide a status update:

lang/gcc33, lang/gcc34, and lang/gcc40 which are not maintained upstream 
any longer now received a one-off patch by yours truely.

I have also patches GCC 4.2 and GCC 4.3 upstream and updated lang/gcc42
accordingly.

lang/gcc43 will follow within 48 hours.  Upstream GCC 4.1 and lang/gcc41
will follow by next Tuesday.


Older versions of GCC in our ports tree should be removed rather sooner 
than later.  They have served us well, but it's due time to say Good Bye.
