Gerald's test for i386-freebsd are for 386-unknown-freebsd10.0, so
that's not old but bleeding edge.

But for the build status lists, freebsd, or for that matter any other
BSD variant, is missing from the latest maintained releases.

The last confirmed build is for GCC 4.4 on i386-unknown-freebsd7.2.
That'd be in 2009...

But, again, we digress. I don't think anyone's arguing for dropping
BSDs from the primary/secondary targets lists. All I'm arguing for, is
to drop a 30 year old architecture that really nobody uses: 80386.

Ciao!
