It would be more productive to detail "no success".

Which exact modifications do you have in mind?
I was able to compile the kernel with gcc46.

I used these settings:

CC=             /usr/local/bin/gcc46
CXX=            /usr/local/bin/g++46
AS=             /usr/local/bin/as
LD=             /usr/local/bin/ld
NO_WERROR=yes
WERROR=

CWARNFLAGS=     -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes \
                -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual \
                -Wno-pointer-sign -D__FreeBSD_cc_version=800001 \
                -Wno-unused-function -Wno-inline

I guess that perhaps 'WERROR=' made the difference.
