Subject: matlab mex files on FreeBSD

I'm still interested in this question because I don't know if my solution 
below totally solves the problem.

It's obvious that this was the problem, one can fix it by changing the 
compilers pointed to
in the glnx86 section of

/compat/linux/usr/local/matlab/bin/mexopts.sh

to

CC='/compat/linux/usr/bin/cc'
CXX='/compat/linux/usr/bin/g++'

and possibly

FC='/compat/linux/usr/bin/f77' (not sure if this is necessary because I 
didn't try compiling fortran files yet)

Just changing the compiler seems to work, at least for simple files anyway. 
If anyone else has experience, please let me know.
