Hi,

Sure, I totally agree that it should not be changed for a "special build", however according to the handbook the version of GCC has not 
changed since FreeBSD 8.0, and I think the future plans will be to go with clang - however it is unclear when this will happen. 

I have a production server running CentOS 5.7 (Which is obviously dated, but still widely used in production use) .. gcc on that 
machine is what shipped, 4.1, i'll try building on that and see if there are any issues.
