Hmm, so apparently FreeBSD doesn't have xlocale.h. Drat. OK, we'll  
have to do something configure-ish about that. I'll try to look at it  
tomorrow, unless someone else wants to go first....

If you comment out that line, does it proceed to compile or does it  
fail with undefined symbols due to the missing header?

That looks like a gcc bug -- any possibility of updating to a more  
recent version? (Or even going back to an earlier one?)
