libstdc++/5611: (Unsigned) long long I/O unsupported on FreeBSD 3.4

Hi Doug,

Great!  If you want to work on the patch, send a first effort to
libstdc++@gcc.gnu.org .

FYI, this situation is fixed on FreeBSD 4.X.  The correct place to fix
this is actually in libiberty.  I have never added a routine there so
I can't offer any real guidance other than kibitzing (brief
instructions are in libiberty/README)

BTW, you might note the following (run on a FreeBSD 4.4 system with
full sources installed in /usr/src):

diff -cw gcc-mainline/libiberty/strtoul.c /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/strtoul.c

contains mainly stylistic differences thus I would adapt these files
in a similar manner (available from WWW CVS from freebsd.org, if you
have no better way to snag them):

/usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/strtoll.c
/usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/strtoull.c
