Yes, I am trying to compile with the 6.0 stock compiler (3.4.4). I also
modified x11-toolkits/wxgtk26-unicode, x11-toolkits/wxgtk26 and
x11-toolkits/wxgtk26-common so that they install 2.6.3-rc2

In spite of the scary errors I continued hacking and hit some serious
issue: they use a function malloc_usable_size() which is defined like
this on linux, but unavailable for FreeBSD:

/* Report the number of usable allocated bytes associated with allocated
   chunk __ptr. */
extern size_t malloc_usable_size __MALLOC_P ((__malloc_ptr_t __ptr));

Any ideas for alternatives?

Testing can show the presense of bugs, but not their absence.
