notes for "ports compiler" Currently, USE_GCC without gcc in base will fail: "Couldn't find your current GCCVERSION (OSVERSION=${OSVERSION})". we now have to handle this case. In devel/clang, set WANT_GCC_VER instead of what is currently USE_GCC. (Others may change as well, if they are only indicating version instead of hard dependency.) USE_GCC will demand gcc be installed, if it is not already in base. IWBNI USE_GCC=yes just went and picked up a default version of gcc per OSVERSION. USE_CLANG will be introduced to demand clang be installed, if it is not already in base. WANT_CLANG_VER will specify a preferred version. is it necessary to have USE_CC=(clang|gcc) ? reminder: WANT_ is internal to port framework (not for users to set).
