rtorrent installed it. From the rtorrent Makefile:

USE_GCC=        4.2+

To use a different compiler you should have something in there IIRC to
tell the system to use it.

Doing a quick google, I think you can set:

CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc42

in /etc/make.conf (I might have got the name of the binary wrong, so
check it)

Then you should be able to build rtorrent.

Then what I'd do is deinstall gcc42:

# pkg_deinstall -f gcc-4.2.5_20080702  

Comment out the CC line in /etc/make.conf & run ldconfig:

# /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start

and hopefully your system is then back to normal.
