# For port developers:
-# If your port needs a specific version of GCC, you can easily specify
-# that with the "USE_GCC=" statement. If you need a certain minimal version,
-# but don't care if about the upperversion, just the + sign behind
-# the version. Note that the Fortran compiler is specified with the
-# USE_FORTRAN knob.
+# If your port needs a specific (minimum) version of GCC, you can easily
+# specify that with a "USE_GCC=" statement. Unless absolutely necessary
+# do so by specifying "USE_GCC=X.Y+" which requests at least GCC version
+# X.Y. To request a specific version omit the trailing + sign. Use of
+# a Fortran compiler is declared by the USE_FORTRAN knob, not USE_GCC.
#
# As of 2010-06-06, USE_GCC=4.3 is deprecated and USE_GCC=4.3+ is
# transparently rewritten to USE_GCC=4.4+.
