In common or regarding OpenBSD? They are using yet gcc2.95 as far as I know? I'm using 64bit especially for 4G of memory, so it's a must.

There are 3 versions of GCC in the tree, gcc2/gcc3 and as of late.. gcc4.
Both amd64 and i386 use a modified (..
gcc-local(1)) version of gcc-3.3.5, a few older architectures use gcc-2.95.3.
In the future, some architectures will be switched over to gcc-4.2.1.. and then hopefully pcc.
GCC 4.2.1 was the last version released under the GPLv2, newer versions are GPLv3.
Here is the commit log for it:
