Well, unless you run tests, I will tend to assume you have the same
catastrophic behavior that I see.
Of course, since FreeBSD only targets fast architectures, this is less of
a problem...
For that matter, this is a mistake we've made once, between gcc 2.8 and
gcc 2.95 (which was already a slowdown), which is the reason why we are
much more careful when doing compiler upgrades now.
