[dev] fpm on FreeBSD

[Donald Sharp]

Mike -

I believe we were recommending FRR turn on FPM because non-compiled
code is dead code.  I think you have found some reasonable issues that
we need to address.  Can you open up an issue about this issue?  It
seems like we should just have the ability to enter a 'no ....'
command for the FPM and it should not turn itself on by default when
it is compiled in.

If this issue is causing problems, I would recommend just turning it
off until we get the issue addressed.

I personally don't have tips on what to turn on/off from a compilation
perspective.  The options are rich and varied.
