If I download the official tarball and try to compile that, it succeeds, however. Accordingly, I think the port can be fixed to compile with the stock compiler, but unfortunately I can't figure out what the problem is. >>2, There are gcc snapshots in the ports collection like lang/gcc34, >>lang/gcc40, lang/gcc41, but there aren't releaes, just snapshots.
