Synopsis: gcc(1) g++(1) Compiling, assembling and linking code with debugging results in unusable debug information

State-Changed-Why: 
Over the course of the last couple of upstream releases, GCC has
significantly improved debug info generation and specifically the
ability to fully and properly track variables.

The FreeBSD project decided not to update the system version of
GCC to a newer version than GCC 4.2.1 due to concerns about the
GPLv3, but in the FreeBSD Ports Collection you will find all
current version of GCC.  Specifically, lang/gcc (GCC 4.6) or
lang/gcc47 should meet your needs.
