--- Comment #1 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> ---
While this is a desirable from an outcome (performance) perspective, it is also
a slippery slope to many/most/any/all ports being built arbitrarily with a
specific or particular compiler, for performance, or other reasons.

Further, there is already a framework in place to allow users to choice to
build with any compiler they want.

Rather than an explicit and hardcoded switch to GCC (in this example), I might
think the following 'could' be an option/alternative:

- Add a GCC option
- Not enabled by default
- Create a fs-uae-gcc (sub) port, with that GCC option enabled by default.

Though I am not advocating the above option, I think for certain *very*
specific/compelling cases, it *might* be something valuable to provide users as
a default.
