>Description:
	The net/gaim port does not build on FreeBSD 4.x because a C99 feature
	is used in the Gaim code which does not compile with GCC 2.95.4, which
	is the default compiler on FreeBSD 4.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Build the newest net/gaim port (1.2.0) on FreeBSD 4.x.

>Fix:
	Adding USE_GCC = 3.3 or USE_GCC = 3.4 to the net/gaim/Makefile file
	seems to fix the problem. Whether that works for FreeBSD 5 and 6, I
	don't know that for sure...
