+ 2.5 Selecting the compiler
+ ==========================
+
+By default, pkgsrc will use GCC to build packages.  This may be
+overridden by setting the following variables in /etc/mk.conf:
+
+ * PKGSRC_COMPILER:
+   This is a list of values specifying the chain of compilers to invoke
+   when building packages.  Valid values are:
+
+       distcc          distributed C/C++ (chainable)
+       ccache          compiler cache (chainable)
+       gcc             GNU
+       mipspro         Silicon Graphics, Inc. MIPSpro
+       sunpro          Sun Microsystems, Inc. WorkShip/Forte/Sun
+                       ONE Studio
+
+   The default is "gcc".  You can use ccache and/or distcc with an
+   appropriate PKGSRC_COMPILER setting, e.g. "ccache gcc".  This variable
+   should always be terminated with a value for a real compiler.
+
+ * GCC_REQD:
+   This specifies the minimum version of GCC to use when building
+   packages.  If the system GCC doesn't satisfy this requirement, then
+   pkgsrc will build and install one of the GCC packages to use instead.
