This is weird, too, because there's a crapload of stuff defined by
gcc-3.3/bin/cpp other than __GNUC__ -- just try:

  /usr/pkg/gcc-3.3/bin/cpp -dM </dev/null | more

Note that, among them, __GXX_ABI_VERSION is defined.  "What's that doing
there" if __GNUC__ isn't...?

When brought in-tree, the -gcc behavior should probably be default.
