I don't think we need to care about GPLv3 in the toolchain.  I ported 
gcc-4.4 in pkgsrc wip, so if that compiles base well (not sure if Sascha 
did a whole world/kernel run with it), we could import gcc-4.4.
Yes I did. There were some linking errors for LINT if I remember 
correctly, but that was it. Never tried running anything, of course. :)
