If you want to play with gcc 4.9 really badly *and* you're a masochist,
it's in ports now.
However, you need to sacrifice a chicken before it builds:
- Patch binutils-2.17 and install them
- Modify both share/mk/bsd.own.mk and add arm to BINUTILS217_ARCH
- rebuild base etc with new binutils.
Now build gcc and enjoy your FrankensteinBSD with the latest gnu
bloatware.
I do not expect anyone attempting this, it's more of a reminder that
someone(tm) needs to look into binutils-2.17 and make it the default on
arm. Or tell me what needs to be done to it before it can be made the
default.
