PCC is only a C compiler, and there is some C++ code (e.g. groff) in the base system. The FreeBSD port is marked as i386 and amd64 only, even though other architectures seem to be there in the PCC source. > actually know that for sure -- is The Amsterdam Compiler Kit, sometimes According to [http://tack.sourceforge.net/about.html], the ACK doesn't support all architectures that FreeBSD does. Nor does it list FreeBSD as a supported platform. Personally I think it is a good thing to have different C compilers. In the past I've installed pcc just to see if my programs compiled OK. Now I tend to use clang for that. It does a great job of identifying programming errors.
