I'm not sure if we should update the instructions for FreeBSD, or if
we should really try to track down what the issue actually is.  I know
Matt mentioned the optimization levels, but I suspect that only
applies to FreeBSD 8.2, whereas 9.0+ has issues of its own.  The
"grabbing jam from ports and then doing a jam / jam install" method
seems to always work, so maybe we should just endorse that until the
issue with gmake is resolved?
