Comment (by jonesc@…):

 I totally disagree things are better now., the previous situation seemed
 much better to me. At least we could actually compile using the gcc
 compilers... Maybe there was some theoretical instability mixing libstdc++
 versions, but I never had any.

 Things changes have caused various ports to stop working. For instance all
 the gcc variants the root port provide. root provides a interactive C++
 environment so the user really may have a reason for wanting a particular
 gcc version. Not to mention fortran support.

 Please considering reverting this, until you have the better solution
 ready.
