Assembler error on FreeBSD 9.1, toolchain problem?

[David Holmes]

Moving to build-dev as build-infra-dev is effectively obsolete now.

The official gcc toolset is version 4.3 as I recall but as FreeBSD is 
not one of Oracle's supported platforms that might not mean much. 
Hopefully a fellow FreeBSD'er can assist but I'd certainly suggest 
updating your toolset (but not too much as you'll then run into a 
different set of problems!).

Cheers,
David
