The above isn't exactly true. No one has stepped forward to integrate newer versions of gcc into the base system. If you decided to do the work, I suspect the FreeBSD committers would be interested in your work. You simply need to introduce "make -DWITHOUT_GPLV3" into Makefile.inc1 and isolated the problematic licensed code. > For note, I managed to get this section to compile with my chosen optimization > flags (-Os -march=c3-2) by removing -Werror (the default) and -Wno-error (to > get past errors from unused results and failed inlining earlier in the kernel > build). I've already stated that the FreeBSD documentation clearly states that only -O and -O2 are supported optimizations. Any other choice is unsupported (see make.conf(5)).
