The problem is that gcc 2.95.2 in -current does not include #define
__FreeBSD__ any more. XF can't tell the OS, so it assumes you lack
snprintf(), and tries a different way of putting strings into numbers
(fcvt, ecvt, gcvt). Check the top of a log from make World to see the OS
detection.
If you drop a #define __FreeBSD__ in config/cf/Imake.cf, it'll detect and
get at least farther along. (still having troubles compiling from their
cvs, going to submit a report rsn). Hopefully we can find a bit nicer way
of doing things soon.
