  Oops, I hate to follow up to myself, but there were a couple rather 
confusing typos and wording problems in the last few paragraphs.  

  What I meant to say first, is that it seems to me this might be a
toolchain problem, in that the ports may not be specifying the *extra*
build requirements needed to build them starting from the default build
environment for FreeBSD 4.x? ( Not "for 4.1"!)

  And last, I meant to say I'd rather not upgrade the compiler unless
*necessary* to get MySQL running - I will if I have to.

  I have seen a number of people post about running MySQL on FreeBSD,
though, and I haven't seen any mention that it's now necessary to
upgrade GCC first, so I am still puzzled why I seem to be the only one
running into this.
