Hi Kris,
Thank you for testing this :).

All ports on my laptop are compiled with it. Only a few ones broke
during build:
lang/gcc41
lang/gcc42 (gcc4x should break too)
emulators/qemu
net/etherboot
Firefox, Gnome, X.org, and everything else seems to not only compile but
also work correctly.
There may be little noise on freebsd-ports@ once the ports bits will
have been provided, because Propolice may put forth a few bugs involving
stack based buffers. In this case, the program is killed with SIGABRT
and message "stack overflow detected; terminated" is issued to syslog.
Regards,
