I have (with FreeBSD 1.1 and gcc 2.6.0), and several other folks posted their
experiences in various groups right after gcc 2.6.0 was released.

I haven't tried to compile a threaded version, because information about
the pthreads library in FreeBSD seems to be hard to come by.

The only serious gotcha I recall offhand is that gcc 2.6.0 has made 'true'
and 'false' into reserved words, so one of the Fresco header files has to be
modified. (I just commented them out of the header file, and everything seemed
to work out.)
