Geoff,

I have mercury-compiler-rotd-1999-10-12 running on 

kind% uname -s -r                               
FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE

The tracer didn't compile in this one, though Fergus told me that in
the current rotd some names were changed to circumvent a name space
bug in some FreeBSD inlude files. Presently, IMHO the most annying
thing is that the Boehm GC will not work in executables linked to
shared libs, so you need to link statically...
