Whoa! Now *that's* a familiar story. I went through the exact same
thing trying to get Fresco (a real pain in the sphincter) working on
FreeBSD. I had to give up. (Linux users have a working, if
threadless, Fresco.)

I hope someone does ... I lack the knowledge/patience to try to get
all that stuff working properly. I got as far as you did before I
threw in the towel. I have a feeling I need to make the whole world
over again with a bmake'd gcc before it'll work right.
You know, a new gcc might also fix problem report bin/230
(constructors for global objects in shared libraries not called). You
guys wanna close that pr, right? Right? :-)

It's fascinating to think that all around us there's an invisible
world we can't even see. I'm speaking, of course, of the World of the
Invisible Scary Skeletons. -- Jack Handey
