Does anyone have any experience with the gcc 3.3-fast compiler? it's listed as an option on my system but gcc_select says it doesn't really exist. And how do I use the compilers that MacPorts builds, if I ever had a need? 

gcc33                          @3.3.6          lang/gcc33
gcc34                          @3.4.6          lang/gcc34
gcc40                          @ 4.0.4          lang/gcc40
gcc41                          @4.1.2          lang/gcc41
gcc42                          @4.2.2          lang/gcc42
gcc43                          @4.3-20071116   lang/gcc43

 
And does gcc_select override what's in the Portfile? For instance, python 2.5 is balking with gcc 4 (the default) but builds with gcc 3.3. I made the change explicit in the Portfile. Could I have saved that step?
