That is correct. I was following previous practice for this, look
higher up in the same file for NetBSD checks for previous compiler
versions.

The point is to avoid installing a compiler unnecessarily.

The gcc 14 switch was during 11.99.3, and I used 11.99.4 because it
was the first bump _after_ the switch (for most platforms).

Actually, this is the same as before my change - my commit just
doesn't affect 11.99.3 systems.
