Yes.

Yes. Build the bootstrap kit either from the modified tree or by using
bootstrap --mk-fragment <file with the modified options>
--gzip-binary-kit $dst
and put $dst in pbulk.conf

/opt/pkgsrcpbulk/etc/pbulk.conf.

I think the easiest approach is to install gcc44 to /opt/pkgsrcpbulk and
to prepend /opt/pkgsrcpbulk/gcc/bin to PATH. That way it should be the
first compiler to be picked up and avoids the complications of the
circular dependencies.

See above.
