Not necessarily -- I see the same on my gcc34 machine.  /usr/bin/gcc -v will
always give the 2.95 message.  Try /usr/libexec/gcc34/gcc -v and see what you
get.

The magic happens in the /usr/share/mk directory.  If you grep through the
files in that directory for CCVER you can follow the logic.  The 'make'
utility always reads those files before doing any real work.

I have no trouble compiling/installing/running DFly with either compiler, but
I have only Athlon machines.  To me this implies that there may be some kind
of problem with the Intel optimizations in gcc34 -- but I'm only guessing.
I have no way to test on my Athlon machines.
