As described in Warner's email message[1] to the FreeBSD-arch mailing list we have reached GCC 4.2.1's retirement date. At this time all supported architectures either use in-tree Clang, or rely on external toolchain (i.e., a contemporary GCC version from ports). GCC 4.2.1 was released July 18, 2007 and was imported into FreeBSD later that year, in r171825. GCC has served us well, but version 4.2.1 is obsolete and not used by default on any architecture in FreeBSD. It does not support modern C and does not support arm64 or RISC-V. Thanks to everyone responsible for maintaining, updating, and testing GCC in the FreeBSD base system over the years. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Set to opportunistically skip building a cross-compiler during the
|
|
bootstrap phase of the build.
|
|
If the currently installed compiler matches the planned bootstrap compiler
|
|
type and revision, then it will not be built.
|
|
This does not prevent a compiler from being built for installation though,
|
|
only for building one for the build itself.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va WITHOUT_CLANG
|
|
option controls that.
