Several things wrong here, I better take them in order. First thing, this
isn't a FreeBSD Port. That's probably confusing to you, because FreeBSD
gives a new connotation to the word "port". Go take a look at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html, you'll see what I mean.
Second, have you been watching the FreeBSD-current list lately? There
have been problems in the compiler lately, and I think they may be your
problem. I wasn't watching that too carefully, but perusing the mail
archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html will help you.
Do you know if this compiles on an i386 current?
