I searched my local personal archive of FreeBSD amd64 postings with
find & grep & found the item, then with that item, sorted mail
archive presentation on FreeBSD site, to now quote you

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2005-June/005107.html

I dont know if that's possible.
I tried the message id into the search box on front page of freebsd site,
but it did not find what I wanted.

The 3 criteria one can sort for are:
thread:		[CALL FOR TESTERS] ReiserFS on non-i386 hardware patch
author:		David O'Brien obrien at freebsd.org 
date:		Thu Jun 2 01:26:19 PDT 2005

I don't. I'm not a compiler person.
