Can you comment against the analysis and plan in
https://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/gcc/
this has been pretty confusing and I've tried to distll all the previous
discussion. We have more or less settled on picking a version for
C, and for C++, and always using those versions.
I think the big question is whether the C version and C++ version have
to match. Or if it's ok to use e.g. base 4.8 for C and pkgsrc 5 for C++
on NetBSD 7.
But, if it's mostly ok, and we later decide it's not really ok (maybe
when we deal with fortran), that probably won't hurt much, compared to
not starting.
