Most of the info is from the osdev wiki I just rehashed it for FreeBSD. Anyhow you can find it here

A suggestion. It would be nice to quote the information source(ie. osdevwiki) within your tutorial, so readers have an option to read more.

The article on the Wiki works fine on BSD, simply linking to it would suffice.

IMHO, building the host dependencies for the cross-compiler yourself isn't necessary, you can pull in GMP/MPFR and MPC from ports or packages.

If you found our tutorial to be non-functional on BSD for whatever reason, the thing to do would be to tell us the problem, and how you fixed it, so we could add the corresponding line ("on BSD, you first have to...") to our tutorial. Better yet, since our tutorial is located in the Wiki, you could make the necessary edits yourself.

Spawning information like that is not so smart, because any changes we make to our tutorial here (like, adding the things necessary to compile GCC 5.0 or somesuch) won't be added to your BSD tutorial. That's why a link is the superior solution here.

As with databases. Redundancy is evil. 8)
