I second that request. There has been a great deal of talk and work
about putting kernel threads into FreeBSD, yet the (not so) current
compiler can't even compile the (soon to be) ASNI C++ Standard Template
Library. 

It also can't compile Douge Schmidts Addaptive Communication Environment
(ACE).

Hopefully 2.1.5 (dreaming) or 2.2 will include an upgraded compiler.
