And math/wfmath got USE_GCC as I'm not able to fix those issues: http://beefy1.isc.freebsd.org/bulk/head-default/2013-09-04_23h56m58s/logs/wfmath-1.0.1.log math/wfmath has no CONFIGURE_ARGS to remove (devel/mercator has). >> >3) is it really necessary to set USE_GCC to "yes", not "any"? >> >> This is what the header of bsd.gcc.mk suggests.

I looked the differenc between "any" and "yes"t already up after you told me about "any" the first time by searching bsd.gcc.mk. I still think that it would be better to have "any" also documented in bsd.gcc.mk at the top. Maybe in the Examples section - how should anyone know about the two switches and their meanings?
