That doesn't seem right:
[coriolinus at labour /usr/src]$ which gcc34
/usr/local/bin/gcc34
[coriolinus at labour /usr/src]$ su
Password:
[root at labour /usr/src]# which gcc34
/usr/local/bin/gcc34

It's true that I installed gcc 3.4 from ports and put a line in
/etc/make.conf: CC=gcc34 . However, it's on the path for both my user
and for root; it seems weird that the makefile would lose track of it.
