Even better on i386 (assuming the contents are correct):

$ ls -lh gcc*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   95M Sep  3 18:17 gcc47-4.7.3nb5.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3.1M Sep  3 18:30 gcc47-libs-4.7.3nb4.tgz

I'm slightly puzzled by the comment in the Makefiles though, eg gcc47:

## When bumping the PKGREVISION of this package the PKGREVISION of
## lang/gcc47-libs needs to be bump to be at least 1 more than the
## PKGREVISION of this package!
PKGREVISION=    5

It seems to be the other way around?

Now to test the contents...


Thanks,

Patrick
