In my case, I use the gcc 2.x (as installed from pkgsrc) for building the
Linux kernel (which is also in my pkgsrc) under Linux.

I also dislike waiting for the Java to build. And I don't like wasting the
space to install.

If I figured it out right, the Java installed takes 145960 kB (of total
170384 kB gcc-3.3 install under Linux).

Maybe lang/gcc3 could be a meta package.

By the way, I have been using gcc3 from pkgsrc since December (I installed
it as gcc3 back then too). I have built hundreds of packages using gcc3.
