I rebuild the entire system with it, gcc tends to get slower at building
as time goes by.  There are scummvm ports that only have a useable gcc 2.x
version from what I gather, I wonder how they are to fare in future.
I guess I will be forced to switch the OpenBSD
port to use gcc 3.x on architectures that use GCC 2 for default compiler
(ie alpha/sparc32/m68k) this release, that or disable the gobliins code.
