You are assuming they can finish the build with the new gcc. Let me
tell you this, when they find a version of a major gcc release which
can build the whole distribution, they probably will stick to it for
a *while* unless there is a very good reason to upgrade.
BTW, when a gcc can build a complete working Linux/xxxBSD distribution,
I think you can spend your time on the next major release :-).
