1st, thanks for your reply. This question was/is stupidly worded :-). 
What I was/am asking is whether the pkg-installed version of this 
compiler is compiled for Graphite support OOTB. The answer appears to be 
'no'. I just pkg-upgraded to the newest version & it is now called 5.3.1:

[29/33] Upgrading gcc5-devel from 5.2.1.s20151124 to 5.3.1.s20151208...
[29/33] Extracting gcc5-devel-5.3.1.s20151208: .......... done

However, when queried from the command line, it doesn't mention 'libisl' 
(req'd for Graphite support) & when I try to compile code using Graphite 
optimization (-floop-parallelize-all for me) it fails w/ an error 
message saying Graphite support not available:

f951: sorry, unimplemented: Graphite loop optimizations cannot be used 
(ISL is not available)(-fgraphite, -fgraphite-identity, -floop-block, 
-floop-interchange, -floo
p-strip-mine, -floop-parallelize-all, -floop-unroll-and-jam, and 
-ftree-loop-linear)

libisl is indeed available, pkg installed & ready to go. When I upgraded 
ports (portsnap fetch update) this A.M., nothing got upgraded, 
everything still dated 12/09 or earlier (when I last rebuilt it to turn 
on Graphite support, which apparently worked AOK) except for the log 
files from my compile. The port showed/shows Graphite enabled by default 
(I think). So, another question is whether the pkg & port have different 
build configurations ?
