>Description:
graphics/xfig does not compile with GCC 4.2. It fails with the following error:
In file included from d_text.c:26:
u_fonts.h:35: error: array type has incomplete element type
u_fonts.h:35: error: array type has incomplete element type
u_fonts.h:36: error: array type has incomplete element type
u_fonts.h:37: error: array type has incomplete element type
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig/work/xfig.3.2.4.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig.

This is caused by a requirement of GCC which wants structs to be defined before an array of such structs can be declared.
>How-To-Repeat:
"make install" in graphics/xfig 

>Fix:
Create files/patch-u_fonts.h with a patch to solve the problem. It can be found at http://people.freebsd.org/~matteo/diff/patch-u_fonts.h .
