Comment 1 Dimitry Andric freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-05-14 22:18:07 UTC 
Oof, the package is using a *very* old version of LLVM.  This problem was fixed upstream more than 6 years ago:

Comment 2 Gerald Pfeifer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-05-15 07:41:47 UTC 
Should we then just deprecate and remove this port?  It appears we've
got way too much old cruft in the tree... :-(
Comment 3 Dimitry Andric freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-05-15 08:39:43 UTC 
Certainly, for a security product, it is a little strange they have not updated their backend libraries for 6 years.  I would not trust this, in any case. :)
Comment 4 Ryan Steinmetz freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-05-15 13:27:30 UTC 
If you are interested in maintaining the port, please feel free to take it.

I'm no longer an active user of this port.
Comment 5 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-05-28 06:51:17 UTC 
Reporter is committer and current maintainer appears "wont fix". Re-assign to reporter to take maintainership or deprecate, and resolve/close accordingly.
Comment 6 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-05-28 06:51:37 UTC 
Did not intend to close, revert.

New revision: 447836
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/447836

Log:
  Mark deprecated with an expiration date of 2017-09-13 since this is
  essentially unmaintained upstream (last RC three years ago, features
  issues fixed on the clang side six years ago, and fails to build with
  modern compilers such GCC 6+ or clang for that matter).

  Reset maintainership to give others a chance to pick this up. [1]

  Bump PORTREVISION due to the changes above.

  Replace USE_GCC=any by USE_GCC=5 to unstall PR 219275.

  PR:		219289, 219275

Expired port removed.
