Setting USE_GCC=3Dany to build with any gcc, or USE_GCC=3Dyes 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=3D-stdlib=3Dlibstdc++ and LDFLAGS=3D-stdlib=3Dlibstdc++?  This =
will build it with libstdc++ and if that works then it narrows the issue =
down. =20

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