Force a GCC version or a FreeBSD version ?

[Dan Naumov]

Hello

I am currently thinking about making a port for Visual Boy Advanced (as
the name implies, it's a GBA emulator). The problem is, according to the
documentation, it will ONLY work properly with GCC 3.2 or newer. Which
route shall I go ? Shall I force a specific version of GCC on the user
or shall I make this port BROKEN for all FreeBSD versions prior to 5.0 ?

>From my understanding, mixing multiple GCCs (which are binary
incompatible) on 1 system is a bad idea. Also doing this GCC trickery
will make my life even harder, as I don't have a 4.x box to test this
on. Are 5.0-only ports frown upon or are they generally OK ?

Sincerely,
