One new problem with gcc4 and ports is that gcc reports the architecture
as haiku instead of beos.
It's also a bit confusing as gcc2 is still beos, so when doing gcc4
builds configure will almost always fallback to the default arch instead
of the beos alternative.
This does sound confusing, I'd vote for switching to reporting the same
architecture for both compilers. I'd probably favour -haiku and
documenting that this has changed (IIRC, we're not actually concerned
with exact source compatibility with BeOS anyway (header layout etc)?)
