(I have no problem with the 'needing gcc3 is a sign of very bad things' notion.) I think it would be good to avoid breaking pkgsrc on systems that are really old but not quite ancient. I draw the line at netbsd-5 which has gcc 4.1. Yes, that's really crufty, but a lot of things build, and while pkgsrc does not "support" such a system, I'd like to avoid moving it to "completely fails".
