Unfortunately I don't recall what the exact packages I used were.  I'm 
actually now working mainly in Debian on my tiBook.

If I have a chance at home, I will get on my FreeBSD box and check the 
version of all the supporting packages (libxml, etc).  I don't recall 
using any special compile options, I mainly used make install in the 
ports system.  My sources were from a while ago (6 - 8 weeks), so it 
was not a recent change that caused the problems.  Maybe 3.1 was never 
a proper gcc to use?

To answer my own question, the updated unix build guide now says that > 
3.2 is required.
