http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=161417 is one that's been
open for a while.  The patch against GCC there is a hack, though, which
I'd prefer to avoid.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=164932 is closed, but seems
to rear its ugly head again (lang/gcc47, though not lang/gcc46 nor
lang/gcc48 in my tests -- testing a shorter hack now).
