Yes, I know it's possible, but to provide a hack in one place istead of 20+ places
(find /usr/ports -type f | xargs grep -l gcc_r | wc -l) is much easier both in the
terms of efforts and testing required. After all, it would only cost us one inode
for symlink and probably two-three lines in appropriate Makefile.
