Setting USE_GCC=any to build with any gcc, or USE_GCC=yes to build with a gcc from ports (they should do the same thing on a no-gcc-in-base system)

For C++ ports, can you check whether the error is from libc++ or clang, by first building libstdc++ from base and then setting CXXFLAGS=-stdlib=libstdc++ and LDFLAGS=-stdlib=libstdc++?  This will build it with libstdc++ and if that works then it narrows the issue down.  

Also, don't forget to report bugs to the port maintainer...
