yes, this works.
However, it does work only if PKGSRC_COMPILER is not set. Once PKGSRC_COMPILER
is set, that compiler is being used regardless of the GCC_REQD setting.
Also, CC_VERSION is not set correctly. It reads gcc-0. I would have
expected it to be gc-2.95.3. Could it be that buildlink expects gcc to
be in the shell path?

/usr/local/pkg/gcc-2.95.3/bin/g++ should be usable as a standalone as well,
shouldn't it?
