Perhaps we should set all the ports to be built with GCC3 then

    I second this idea; note, this will break quite a lot of
    ports but it is nice to do that so early in the timeline
    otherwise we will end up adding all kinds of hacks.


It will break some ports (such as net/cap).  On the other hand, it
would probably be better to default to using gcc3 and then have an
exception-method to handle the ports which can not build with gcc3.


Yes, we could add something like USE_GCC2 or something, and people can just define that in their /etc/make.conf is they dont care about GCC-3 madness. :-)
