At one time mudflap would lead to internal compiler errors
on amd64.  I haven't tried it in a long time.

What language frontends do you intend to support when 4.1.1
comes into the tree?  FreeBSD currently has a Fortran 77
compiler via g77.  g77 is no longer supported in the 4.x
series, and its replacement is a Fortran 95 compiler.
