I'll install gcc 4.1.2, which is the version on my centos server and
I'll report back to you. 

I do remember that I encountered a problem during the build with 4.0
where the package uses sed instead of gsed due to more lenient nature of
the regex that gsed uses. I suspect that there are more tools that can
cause differences in the generated binary other than gcc. Is there a way
to setup the pkgsrc package to use gnu versions of the tools in a
wholesale manner? Or do you have to specify gsed, gawk, ggrep?, what
have you?
