Oh, I think GCC 3.2.1 prerelease knocks the socks off 3.1
prerelease.  But any time someone is using a FreeBSD -RELEASE,
gcc -v should say "release" in it.  That's just MHO.

Part of the reason I say this is because the gcc31 port uses the
release version and is not subject to the same bugs that the
*prerelease* 3.1 compiler that was in -CURRENT was.
