On recent versions of FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT (it's a moving target!)
standard C library is stripped by default. This makes the current

presented in the patch below (and the build information at the end of
this message corresponds to the build after applying this patch; the
usual test 190 in pragma/warning still fails, as expected)​:
