Hi!

On my FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE GENERIC (yeah, I will upgrade soon) I can't
get the gcc3.4 port to compile.

Unless I'm mistaken, gcc3.4 is used for 5.3 nowdays. Do I dare to
upgrade to 5.3 or do I have the chance of ending up with a broken
compiler?

5.3 doesn't use the gcc port to compile the base system, it includes a version of gcc. You have nothing to worry about here.

Excellent. I thought so, but confirmation calms my fears.

Or, is it just that the port is broken for 5.2? I haven't found any
hints in UPDATING.

5.2 is no longer officially supported by the ports collection, so problems of this nature are not tracked.

Time to learn mergemaster and do that upgrade then...

Thanks Kris!
