mysql322 from ports is another one, if you try and compile it with the 
stock -O -pipe it
builds up till almost the end but when it gets to sql.yacc.cc the machine 
just hangs there
and finally dies (no input or output). I have to go into the debugger and 
reboot.
But if you add -fno-exceptions it builds fine.It's taken a couple of days 
but I've weeded
out all of the programs that depended on old gcc libs and rebuilt them.
