Well, I've tried a really recent egcs from their anoncvs server, and tried gcc 2.8 from the ports tree. egcs wouldn't even link when I tried to make a shared Qt lib, but worked nicely with static libs (albeit while eating up a few hundred megs of disk space..). gcc 2.8 nicely linked everything (Qt+various KDE stuff I'm working on), but when I tried to actually run everything..
