 Following an update of "devel/boost-libs" (and removing "mail/akonadi"
 from my "GCC_REQD+=4.6" override list), doing "make" in "mail/akonadi"
 attempted to build "lang/gcc45".  So, I suppose that will take care of
 the issue.
 
 (Since I need GCC 4.6 for "www/firefox", I'd like to do a blanket override
 of packages needing GCC 4.5 or earlier--but still building with the
 netbsd-5's native GCC 4.1.3 for those packages for which it works.  I
 haven't quite worked out how.  Obvious approaches using something like:
 
   .if !empty(GCC_REQD:M4.5)
     GCC_REQD+=4.6
   .endif
 
 in "/etc/mk.conf" cause 'make' to complain about invalid conditional
 expression.)
