 As "www/firefox" requires gcc48, "lang/gcc48" builds just fine.
 
 As noted in "pkg/49025", the "GCC_REQD=" mechanism does not detect
 compilers installed from pkgsrc, so packages declaring "GCC_REQD+= 4.6"
 will attempt to build "lang/gcc46" on netbsd-6 even if "lang/gcc48" is
 already installed.  Such packages require manual overriding of their
 "GCC_REQD" variable via "mk.conf".
 
 As of pkgsrc-2015Q4, no packages that I normally build required GCC 4.6,
 so no build was attempted.  A few required GCC 4.7, but I was able to
 catch them and override them to GCC 4.8.
