That means a simple 'USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN=1' in /etc/mk.conf will replace
the older egcs and binutils stuff with the 'new' toolchain ones?

Worse:

  $ ls -l /usr/pkg
  lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  5 Jul  2  2000 /usr/pkg@ -> local

My first thought that time was their purpose would be quite the same.
... and I didn't like to add another search path for binaries... :-/

But why is pkgsrc/devel/gettext-lib needed by some other pkgsrc stuff
if /usr/lib/libintl.* is present?
