Submit, yes, about a year ago. See:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=89315

They are not likely to be included though, since FreeBSD is not a 
supported platform. For what it takes to become one see the wiki link at 
the bottom of the bug report.

Now that I see this bug report again, the os_custom.h patch should not 
be needed now, with the new libtool, IIRC.
