Hi Kris,

Thank you for testing this :).

All ports on my laptop are compiled with it.  Only a few ones broke
during build:
    lang/gcc41
    lang/gcc42	(gcc4x should break too)
    emulators/qemu
    net/etherboot

Firefox, Gnome, X.org, and everything else seems to not only compile but
also work correctly.

There may be little noise on freebsd-ports@ once the ports bits will
have been provided, because Propolice may put forth a few bugs involving
stack based buffers.  In this case, the program is killed with SIGABRT
and message "stack overflow detected; terminated" is issued to syslog.

Regards,
