Setting GCC_REQD might work within pkgsrc, but not outside.  I'm thinking of things like attempting to cross-compile Haiku or Linux toolchains.  For that, I might have to tweak PATH from FreeBSD or NetBSD.

In FreeBSD, there is likely to be no /usr/bin/gcc, especially with amd64 and i386, where clang is used to build the system and many of the ports.

I use pkgsrc within NetBSD, but never, or at least not yet, in FreeBSD, where I use FreeBSD ports.
