No, but you can get syscons or pcvt if you want. And I am not happy with the reordering done to the gnu tree, because it makes it more difficult to be actual in GCC. At least, I to get the stuff twice (from GNU AND NetBSD). I'm not entirely certain what you're talking about here. Is there some particular reason you want to use GCC from the FSF rather than the version integrated into NetBSD? Note that the FSF version, without some modification which are already in the version that comes with NetBSD, won't do shared libaries under NetBSD, so this would indeed be a lose. Is it possible and advisable to switch back to FreeBSD? None of the things you've mentioned are different under FreeBSD, so I don't see your point.
