it builds but you get problems if you want to build libg++ because the
weak symbols (and maybe other stuff) are set wrong in the freebsd.h
file of the gcc distribution (the weak problem you may fix by
commenting out the WEAK something part there) - some people have fixed
this for themselves - some fixes were posted to various lists here -
but i think nobody sends the fixes back to the FSF so that we can
_really_ build any new gcc out of the box on FreeBSD - so - please -
anybody who adapts FSF code to FreeBSD - send the fixes back to the
FSF so that we don't have to do all that again for each new version
just my point
