--- Comment #13 from Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe at FreeBSD.org> ---
First of all, sorry for inadvertent confusion, GCC situation is not as bad on
powerpc as on sparc64.  I've had GCC version downgraded on powerpc not because
it was broken (I never tried), but because I generally prefer lower versions
due to less code bloat, and because I already had gcc-4.9.4.tar.gz2 distfile
downloaded (and they are pretty big).

Niclas, for now, I had to modify /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk by hand.
 Eventually, after I iron out remaining issues with gcc48/49 under sparc64 (it
could never finish the build for me under QEMU with BOOSTRAP option enabled,
which is the default, so it needs to be flipped), I'd probably submit a patch
to set appropriate GCC default version based on particular architecture; this
would most likely be applicable to sparc64 and /maybe/ powerpc.

That said, I'll rebuild `graphics/mesa-dri' with default gcc version (6?) on
powerpc and report again.

Mark, sorry, I was thinking of sparc64; both gcc5/6 are marked as broken on it
currently.  They probably build fine on powerpc, I just haven't tried yet.

[I cannot say much about system-clang, I'm quite happy with gcc 4.2 as a system
compiler.  In fact, that what makes tier-2 architectures more attractive to me
now: they don't use clang.]
