Is upgrading an option for you?

As for gcc, let's find out. I'm going to try bumping gcc up to 3.4.6.
As for FreeBSD, not really, unless a critical remotely-exploitable vulnerability comes out and it's something I can't stop at the firewall. This is a dedicated server that was setup in 2006 and is grandfathered into a sweet plan that doesn't exist anymore. Its hardware is plenty sufficient, and the remote upgrade path from 4.11 to 5.x to 6.x is unappealing at best. It'll have to happen eventually, but it's not that time...yet!
