There is work being done on PCC, which is already capable of compiling
the OpenBSD and NetBSD userlands.  PCC is also quite a bit smaller and
already performs better than GCC.  OpenBSD folks are helping with the
development of PCC, so they can replace GCC in the base.  That might
be a solution for FreeBSD too, at least as a system compiler.  GCC
could be available as an add-on through ports for those who need it.
