I had a similiar patch in the pipe.

Well, I called them bsd.cpu.${CCVER}.mk and added the ability to specify
which an alternative file for non-system compilers. It will bark if you
don't do that ;-)

This one needs further investigation. I'm currently thinking about
the order of including ../Makefile.inc and bsd.cpu.mk which should
fix this. Anyway I'd prefer to manually include ../Makefile.inc.

I want to investigate this too. That's why I said buildworld with gcc3
is not recommented.

The .makeenv should be unnecessary, I changed bsd.own.mk to always
re-export CCVER.

Thanks for the report, even though I didn't commit your patch.
