FreeBSD is fairly conservative with updating the system compiler.
It is currently
kargl[219] gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Configured with: FreeBSD/i386 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728
I don't expect FreeBSD to move to gcc 4.x for the system
compiler for several years.
Also, note FreeBSD is a complete, bundled operator system
(unlike Linux which is a kernel that each system vendor
bundles with its own userland).
