ps You do realize that we are using gcc 4.2.1 (and not 4.2.4 or a later
gcc release) only because of the GPLv3 license. Few people are aware
but Apple's programmers (who are the FSF darwin maintainers) are not
allowed to read the gcc mailing lists or the gcc source code since
GPLv3 came into effect. They can only review and approve patches submitted
for the FSF gcc that impact the darwin port. Fortunately that has
allow me to keep the wheels on FSF gcc on darwin so far (knock on wood).

I wonder if NetBSD has moved to 4.3. If I remember correctly, before I switched to Mac OS, they wanted to turn to LLVM because they refused to accept GPLv3.
