 Yes.
 FeeMiNT's official compiler is gcc 2.95.3.
 FreeMiNT has some issues with pkgsrc.
 To clarify what is the cause, I want to use gcc 2.95.3.
 
 pkgsrc-2013Q2 release announcement has FreeMiNT as supported platform,
 and I am improving FreeMiNT support now (see e-mails in tech-pkg@).
 Deleting the official compiler of supported platform is very bad idea.
