Yes Code_Aster has problems, but PR ports/176328 is caused by another
problem located in metis-edf (a patch has been provided, and we are
waiting for the maintainer to commit it).

Other problems are caused by a mismatch between legacy code and recent
compilers. E.g.:

http://www.code-aster.org/forum2/viewtopic.php?id=16215
http://www.code-aster.org/forum2/viewtopic.php?id=16194

but they are not specific to FreeBSD, and the newer releases of
Code_Aster (unstable ATM) have fixed them.
