I have some experience with FreeBSD. I don't mind building ports. You know sometimes it's necessary (most FreeBSD software is ported, and needs to be configured) But I cannot find in the documentation how to prevent a port re-compiling different versions of GCC or other such monsters, when I already compiled them. Any clear-cut solutions? I know you can install binary packages, that is not relevant to my question, unless you are being somewhat cynical.
