I have to agree with you, I use gar to build and it is still a problem.

the subversion package, is/was my PITA for this problem.

Perl, Python are built using Studio, Ruby is built with GCC
I had to Hack up a "fix" to change the makefiles to be GCC computible.
this worked without a problem.  if you would like to see what I did,
here is the link in gar.

http://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/subversion/trunk/Makefile?revision=4609&view=markup

Lines 133 - 150
and
Lines 194 - 200

- --

Thanks,
Mike
