Objective-C is enabled by default for FreeBSD in the FSF source release. It has been for as long as I can remember. It is my understanding that Objective-C++ is not enabled by default for any platform. I do not know if it even builds for FreeBSD. According to gcc/objcp/config-lang.in : # Per GCC Steering Committee. build_by_default="no" Therefore either: (1) You need to manually configure with --enable-languages=obj-c++ (which I think could be enabled by a FreeBSD port collection knob with a default of "no" to honor the request of the GCC Steering Committee) (2) Contact a member of the GCC Steering Committee to understand why the default is as such and whether an OS port collection may override the default. Sorry, I don't know the history here.
