Thus spake David O'Brien (obrien@FreeBSD.ORG):

Hello David, compiler-maintainer ;-)

I noticed that many ports are broken because the compiler handles
ANSI-C++ violations too strict.

That means, if you do, as an example:

const fubar = 10;

the build _FAILS_. Other compilers implicy type "int" here, that's why
many ports are broken for -current only.

Just FYI, maybe you can do something against this strict handling.
Or not, I don't know. Somehow, it's very good that the compiler does
this...
