For the time being, and understanding the malloc() issue, how about a 
change like the following for the time being so that we are at least
on par with Darwin here?  This really is an efficiency killer.

This also brings upstream GCC in line with the system compiler, at
least on x86.

PS: Passes bootstrap and testing, and I'll add a ChangeLog if approved.

No, this is wrong.  It confuses the build compiler with the target compiler.  If you're doing native, it would work, but cross and canadian cross compilers won't work in general.

You can put -DFREEBSD_TARGET in t-freebsd, and then you can test that, if you wanted to.  Another, probably better approach would be to put this into freebsd.h, and then make use of that information in some way to do this.  For example:

freebsd.h:
#define FREEBSD_NEVER_SETS_ERRNO 1

and in i386.c:

#ifdef FREEBSD_NEVER_SETS_ERRNO
	if (FREEBSD_NEVER_SETS_ERRNO)
	  opts->x_flag_errno_math = 0;
#endif
