It appears that gcc-aux is the first gcc 4.9.0 in pkgsrc. It's purpose is to build the Ada packages in pkgsrc, but it also supports C, C++, Objective-C, and Fortran languages by default. GCC 4.9 was released on 22 April 2014. Of note, GCC 4.9 fully supports the new Ada-2012 standard. The rest of the changes since GCC 4.8.2 are too numerous to mention, but a decent summary can be found here: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.9/changes.html FreeBSD support was added, but SunOS support was temporarily disabled. This is due to all new bootstraps being provided, but the SunOS bootstrap is not yet ready. Currently supported platforms are * NetBSD i386 and x86-64 * DragonFly i386 and x86-64 * FreeBSD i386 and x86-64 All platform fully pass the Ada testsuite: * http://www.dragonlace.net/gnataux/netbsd32/ * http://www.dragonlace.net/gnataux/netbsd64/ * http://www.dragonlace.net/gnataux/dragonfly32/ * http://www.dragonlace.net/gnataux/dragonfly64/ * http://www.dragonlace.net/gnataux/freebsd32/ * http://www.dragonlace.net/gnataux/freebsd64/

The AUX compiler supports several languages: Ada, C, C++, Fortran and
|
|
Objective-C. Since Ada support must be built by an Ada-capable compiler,
|
|
only platforms for which a bootstrap compiler is available can build it.
|
|
|
|
The AUX compiler is based on release versions of the Free Software
|
|
Foundation's GNU Compiler Collection. It carries with it the GMGPL license,
|
|
the modified version of the GPL that exempts generic instantiation from
|
|
resulting in a GPL-licensed executable. It also carries the GCC Runtime
|
|
Library Exception, so the resulting binaries have no licensing requirements.
|
|
Binaries produced by the AUX compiler should be legally handled the same as
|
|
binaries produced by any FSF compiler.
|
|
|
|
This compiler implements the full Ada-83, Ada-95, Ada-2005 and Ada-2012
|
|
standards.
