I dunno. It would be fairly easy to do, all the gcc 4.x bits are in
just a handful of directories so if you want to submit a patch set to
the make upgrade target's Makefile to do it, go ahead.
This could result in some degree of foot-shooting, however, if there
are binary dependancies on gcc-4.x bits from a gcc 4.x built and installed
world. You'd have to do some reasearch to see if there are such issues.
A conditional in the make upgrade Makefile to check for gcc 4.x built
pieces and disallow the removal might be necessary.
Please keep in mind, however, that we will eventually be migrating to
GCC 4.x anyhow. The WANT_GCC40 variable is just a convenience. It will
eventually become mandatory (be removed and 4.x would be built by
default anyhow), the same way 3.x became mandatory when we were migrating
from 2.95.x to 3.x.
