Hello,

I have two issues with selecting the appropriate version of gcc:

1, There is the port net/verlihub, that needs gcc 3.3 that is broken 
under amd64. What solution do You recommend? I haven't used the 
compatibility layer yet, but what if I make buildworld/installworld to 
enable the compatibility layer? Is there any way to cross-compile ports 
similar to "make TARGET_ARCH=i386 buildworld"? Is this macro usable with 
ports collection like "cd /usr/ports/lang/gcc33 && make TARGET_ARCH=i386 
install"?

2, There are gcc snapshots in the ports collection like lang/gcc34, 
lang/gcc40, lang/gcc41, but there aren't releaes, just snapshots. Are 
these gcc snapshots as reliable as the releases are? Can I use for 
instance lang/gcc34 for production goals instead of the stock compiler, 
or is it just for development/testing usage?

Cheers,

Gabor Kovesdan
