All,

     I carefully reread the following Raspberry Pi Forum Post : 
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=89622

The important part was an update where it specified getting FreeBSD 
Specific boot files from a directory on github, which is different than 
the 'master' boot files specified elsewhere:

**************************************************************************************
UPDATE: There are some new boot files at the following URL:

https://github.com/kientzle/crochet-fre ... rryPi/boot 
<https://github.com/kientzle/crochet-freebsd/tree/master/board/RaspberryPi/boot>

Download the following files and copy them to your MSDOS partition:

bootcode.bin
fixup.dat
fixup_cd.dat
start.elf
start_cd.elf
***********************************************************************************

using the above files fixed the memory and subsequently, the compiling 
problem.

I also found the suggestion :
echo 'hw.bcm2835.sdhci.hs="0"' >> /boot/loader.conf
extremely helpful.

I hope this helps someone.

Mark
