I think that=E2=80=99s probably fine.  We basically have four cases that =
we care about:

- People who are using clang because it=E2=80=99s the system compiler =
[works]
- People who are using new clang from ports / svn because it=E2=80=99s =
new and shiny [works]
- People who are using gcc from base because it=E2=80=99s the system =
compiler [works]
- People who are using new gcc from ports / svn because it=E2=80=99s new =
and shiny [works]

The only people it doesn=E2=80=99t work for are the ones building =
FreeBSD using an out-of-tree old GCC.  There probably aren=E2=80=99t too =
many of those=E2=80=A6
