The following may help in getting your system running, but hasn't been tested:

1. Either update or downgrade your sources to get past the gcc bug.
2. Boot the FreeBSD livefs CD/memstick
3. mount your partions

mkdir /mnt
mount -t ufs /dev/ad0s1a /mnt
mount -t ufs /dev/ad0s1d /mnt/usr
mount -t ufs /dev/ad0s1e /mnt/var

4. link /mnt/usr/obj directory

ln -s /mnt/usr/obj /usr/obj

5. Build world and kernel

cd /mnt/usr/src/
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

6. Install the new world and kernel

make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt
make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
mergemaster -i -C -D /mnt

7.  Reboot the computer and remove the fixit CD
