Actually, I did mean for USE_PKGSRC_GCC to be deprecated, and for
GCC_REQD to be the correct thing to set in /etc/mk.conf.  Unfortunately,
sometime before the last branch, this was broken (probably by me to
be completely honest), and it's still pending a fix.  I am working on
one (which is a rewrite of some parts of the pkgsrc infrastructure),
and I have made this a priority for pkgsrc-2005Q3.  I don't have any
details as yet, but I'll write up a short description for tech-pkg in
the coming weeks.
