Ben,

My understanding is that FreeBSD 4.x is still using gcc 2.95, is
that right?  If so, I would encourage you to add --without-pcraster
to the configure and things will hopefully work.

In general I think you will find it difficult to build newer versions
with gcc 2.95 as time passes.

Best regards,
