Of course llvm50++ or llvm40++ as c++. The problem was naming. I've thought about using links before, but was worried to make too many changes like that. This time using llvm50, I've added two softlinks one in the directory of /usr/local/bin from c++ to clang++50, and in the directory of /usr/local/llvm50/bin/ from c++ to clang. This builds. It's not done yet, but I think this is it. I've added this to the bug https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223009 . It is about aarch64, but this problem applies to many architectures. Thank you.

I'm a little confused, as how earlier, it seemed that ports that didn't need c++ were building without CC, CXX, and CPP options set.  If I made a mistake here, I apologize for this. It seems CC, CXX, and CPP are made for ports. Then the problem is with Rust locating c++ that is in /usr/local/bin/ and not contained within FreeBSD 11.1's base, in /usr/bin/.

Now I think the problem is, that Rust and programs depending on it look in absolute locations for c++.
