Incidentally, I've been wondering for the longest time now: is/are

1) It's not needed to build anything in the base system.
2) It takes a long time to build.
3) You really want to use the gcc41 or gcc42 port.

Of course, IMHO.

I've tried both ports, but gcj fails to run, complaining about a
missing "spec" file (I forget the exact filename, maybe
"gcjlib.spec" or something similar). :-(

Is this maybe an arch-specific (amd64) problem? Or?
