Will the installation of this compiler break my other > Linux ports? Ah, this description seems to be old. Recently, FreeBSD 4.x-stable uses RedHat 7.1 based linux_base (aka linux_base-7). So if someone over installed linux_base-6(former default one) to linux_base-7, apparently one will get mixed situation. It is no problem now. I'll change this when some committer handle my port.
