Except egcs can not support the Standard Temple Library on FreeBSD unless you compile it with threading enabled (unlike g++ 2.8.1, you must choose threading or no threading for resulting binaries at the time you compile the compiler, not at the time you compile the program). If you compile it with threading enabled, be prepared to delete libc entirely and *only* use libc_r, or you will get quirky behaviour from a lot of code. A good yardstick for a C++ compiler is to try to compile and run the Cyrus ACAPD code with the thing, since that code is very gung-ho with regard to use of C++ constructs.
