I have found a solution for this. Certain CPU-Types seem to trigger a problem 
with moused. This is an example for a make.conf workaround:


# moused bug workaround
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/usr.sbin/moused}
.if defined(CPUTYPE)
.if ${CPUTYPE} == core2
CPUTYPE=athlon64
.elif ${CPUTYPE} == pentium-m
CPUTYPE=pentium3
.endif
.endif
.endif


I suspect the problem is a gcc bug.
