Hi Yorick,

apologies, I didn't mean to take so long to reply

Yes. Interestingly, I've been looking through 
/usr/pkgsrc/mk/compiler/gcc.mk and I realised that GCC_REQD can 
actually be a list of values (Although it is a little pointless as 
it'll get resolved to the highest one), so for my purposes having this as:

   GCC_REQD= 4.7 4.8 4.9

would have solved my problems, since Taskwarrior requires 4.7 and 
above and I had 4.9 installed.

That's odd. That's not the behaviour I've experienced or read about.

On a related note, however, I have been looking at implementing 
GCC_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED as suggested by David Holland, but I'll start a 
separate thread about that.
