I don't think it's ever been preferred, just an option for those who could
not or did not want to use the Studio compilers. It won't match the binaries
we build, test, and release.

We do not test building X with gcc 4.x - only the gcc 3.4.3 from SFW,
and that only for the portions that cannot be built with Sun Studio.
I would imagine X can be built with gcc 4.x due to upstream work, but
have never tested it.
I know some work was done on ON to fix gcc 4.x build issues so that the
Parfait static analyzer from Sun Labs could be run on the code, but don't
know of anyone testing a full build with actual gcc 4.x compilers.
