Unless [FreeBSD] means that this gcc is hacked in some way and is not
identical to the real thing, then no you don't need a different version
of gcc; in fact, 2.95.3 is IMHO superior to 3.2 in some ways.

I suspect your 'm4' is broken. Please send me (not the the list) your
generated hipe_x86_asm.h file. FWIW, I've tested this with GNU m4 (all
versions from RedHat Linux 6.2 to RedHat Linux 8.0) and the stock m4
in Solaris 8 x86.
