Dear FreeBSD-X11,

Again moving into my senior years, I am in need of some supervision.  Now a
week away from the day job trying to Install gcc onto FreeBSD 12 onto
Oracle
VirtualBox on a MicroSoft Windows Server.  First mis-event was trying for
gcc
needed compiler.  It was very unhappy for a long list of needs bison,
binutils,
perl to name a FEW.  Often in the 'make' the FBSD12 crashed and needed
restart.

On one iteration (and I lost the link) I had found what appeared to
make-build-
install that knew how to get the dependencies.  Would welcome a clue.

My main worry is we may have missed some Vbox steps, fixes, wisdom to
accommodate FBSD installation.  Don't want to keep crashing my FreeBSD.
