That's why the pkgsrc infrastructure should infer GCC_REQD from USE_LANGUAGES.
I've written a patch to do that.

That's why the pkgsrc infrastructure should let you choose one GCC version 
(at least for C++), bootstrap-compile that to a different PREFIX (because 
the dependencies can't be used later on because they were built with a 
different GCC version), compile everything else with that GCC and fail if 
a package requires a newer one.
I've written a patch to do that, but without the bootstrap.
