-    <para>The default system compiler as of &os; 8.0 is
-      <application>GCC</application> version 4.2.1.  In addition, the
-      base system of &os; includes <application>binutils</application>
-      version 2.15.  These versions are several years old and lack,
-      among other things, support for recent <acronym>CPU</acronym>
-      instructions like <acronym>SSSE3</acronym>,
-      <acronym>SSE4.1</acronym>, <acronym>SSE4.2</acronym>, etc.
-      Due to licensing issues, new versions of these applications will
-      not be integrated into the base system.  Luckily, it is possible
-      to use a newer version of the <application>GCC</application>
