One often uses USE_GCC=3.2+ to enable a port to build on RELENG_4, but that does not mean a 6-CURRENT user doesn't want to use the native compiler. I also argue that the correct algorithm for USE_GCC=3.2+ is: 1. Use system compiler if it's version is allowable by the USE_GCC invocation. 2. Prefer the highest version # found already installed and allowed by the USE_GCC invocation, rather than the lowest. 3. Install the specified GCC version and use if, if no other already installed compiler meets the USE_GCC invocation. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
