Default Base gcc on FreeBSD 9.0 RELEASE powerpc
I've found at least one port that does not compile correctly with the base system gcc(1) if the code is compiled with optimizations on (at least -O or higher) , the port is sysutils/smartmontools. If compiled with optimizations on, smartctl will segfault as soon as you query a device. Turning off optimizations with -O0 fixes the problem, also compiling the port with newer lang/gcc46 with default optimizations results in working binary.

Anyone else seen anything similar on other ports?

Please add this information to http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=13827 while also submitting to the FreeBSD PPC mailing list and the respective port for a fix.
My apologies for the late reply.

There is a greater chance of more errors appearing since the POWER(PC) user base is smaller on FreeBSD than:
1. The PPC user base for Linux. They have IBM, RedHat, Debian, and Gentoo to help while there is a small but very active user base on FreeBSD.
2. The standard- i386/amd64/pc98- user base on FreeBSD.

@kpa: is there a PR for this? If not, perhaps you should submit one?
