I don't know why Richard is using NSProcessInfo to get the arguments in
main() since he could easily use argc and argv...

However, I did have the same problems on FreeBSD.
I also tried configuring -base with --enable-pass-arguments (see
below) which resulted in basically every application to core dump
upon startup....

Try to configure -base with '--disable-procfs --disable-openssl'
That's how I got it to work on FreeBSD.

GS_PASS_ARGUMENTS is set by the configure script if you set
enable_pass_arguments to yes.
