I wish i could say the same.

I switched from FBSD 8.4 to 9.2 and still can't compile 4.3.x. 4.3.4
doesn't even apply the patches correctly. The previous 4.3.x at least
did that.

4.2.20 doesn't compile either. It ends with this error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl
kmk: ***
[/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.2.20/out/freebsd.amd64/release/obj/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.so]
Error 1

Dispite my attempt to remove -ldl (which applies to only to linux,
according to what i googled) from all occurences I could find, it
somehow keeps sneaking in again.
