Unable to build Firefox 3 from ports

[Alex]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I had a hunch this was why... I know the newer 
gcc's are also a little stricter with code. The only problem is that I 
had also deleted /usr/bin/gcc, /usr/bin/cc and symlinked them to gcc43 
and same with /usr/bin/g++, /usr/bin/c++, symlinked those to g++43 so I 
could force the use of that compiler. How can i restore the default gcc/cc?

Shouldn't mozilla make their code compile with current compilers though? 
Firefox has been the only thing so far that refuses to compile with gcc43.
