FreeBSD 4.0 support now in

[Stefanus Du Toit]

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this, it's great! I recently switched from Linux
to FreeBSD and I have no intentions to go back, I was hoping that v3 would
be buildable on here for about a week and a half now since showmanyc() in
libg++ does not seem to be implemented in the version that ships with
FreeBSD (it relies on #ifdef _G_IO_IO_FILE_VERSION = 0x20001, which is not
so in the version in /usr/src) and I require it for a protocol library
that I am currently working on (never mind the fact that basic_streambuf
and locale are missing! *shudder*). I was just about to offer my help to
see if there was anything I could do to improve the build situation on
FreeBSD. Since I'm new to both FreeBSD and libstdc++-v3, I'm not quite
sure if I would be of much help to you though :)

What is the recommended way to compile this - should I get a gcc 2.95.2
tarball, use /usr/ports/gcc-devel, use gcc 2.95.2 from
/usr/src/contrib? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't wait to
start using this.
