I've thought of Uses/compiler.mk, but eventually couldn't decide which
compiler to ask for: the problem in my case was not with the code (so it
is not like "port needs a compiler understanding C++0X/C++11/C++14", but
the bugginess of GCC 4.2.1 itself.  (Now that I'm reading through it again,
compiler:openmp looks interesting).

Or there's a way to require a modern compiler thish is not feature-based?

Certainly, and usually I try to be careful about tiers-2.  In this case,
however, I'd have to find a way to de-SSE2'ize the code beforehand; it is
on my list, but quite of low priority.
