I bootstrap with Sun Studio and then switch to lang/gcc34 as soon as
possible. Switching back to Sun Studio for selected packages would
probably work, but I don't think it is recommended (e.g. you'd have to
reinstall devel/libtool-base with each change). Switching between
different GCCs (at least back and forth several times) is IMHO nearly
impossible, because the binaries could easily end up with different
libgcc_s.so's in their runpaths.
