Versions of GCC
There are many versions of gcc in the ports tree.
- It is painful for builders (especially the ones using qemu) to have so many versions.
- Some only exist to satisfy dependencies.
This page discusses the list of ports that we should try to update to reduce the dependencies.

The usage column does not include ports that hardwire the version. See HardcodedGCCVersions for that list.
