  bsdi 1.1 comes with gcc 2.5.8 as well.  Try gcc2 -v.

  Have a look in the mirror and then in /usr/contrib/bin/gmake for a
fairly recent (3.70) version.  ;-}

  BTW, you can often quickly locate similar information by searching
/usr/src/{MANIFEST,MANIFEST.X11} rather than a tedious find through
the cdrom.
