I'm working on switching to LLVM's lld linker as the FreeBSD system linker (/usr/bin/ld)[1], and the port in this PR is reported as a new failure in the exp-run, PR 214864. An excerpt from the build log[2]: --- checking the id3lib version... configure: error: could not determine id3lib version ===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly. --- FreeBSD 11 and later have lld available as /usr/bin/ld.lld, so one simple option for testing is to just symlink /usr/bin/ld to ld.lld (and restore it to ld.bfd). A port Makefile knob, LLD_UNSAFE=yes, exists to indicate that a port does not work with lld, and requires either /usr/bin/ld.bfd or binutils from ports. This should work for the common case of ports written in C using GNU autoconf; it may have no effect on other ports.

Via tobik@ in ports r465725, BINARY_ALIAS=ld=ld.bfd may be an effective workaround if LLD_UNSAFE does not work.
Hm, in config.log there is more details on this failure: configure:18938: cc -o conftest -g -fstack-protector -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_GTK -fstack-protector conftest.c -lid3 -L/usr/local/lib >&5 configure:18938: $? = 0 configure:18938: ./conftest /usr/local/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3: Undefined symbol "_ZTVN10__cxxabiv120__si_class_type_infoE" It looks like it's really pulling in come c++ stuff: $ nm --demangle -D /usr/local/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3|grep class U vtable for __cxxabiv1::__class_type_info U vtable for __cxxabiv1::__si_class_type_info $ I can get it to build by explicitly adding -lstdc++ to id3's LIBS. --- configure.bak 2016-12-05 23:32:24.000000000 +0400 +++ configure 2018-03-28 20:21:24.641935000 +0400 @@ -18871,7 +18871,7 @@ return 0; } _ACEOF -for ac_lib in '' "id3" "id3 -lstdc++" "id3 -lz" "id3 -lz -lstdc++"; do +for ac_lib in "id3 -lz -lstdc++"; do if test -z "$ac_lib"; then ac_res="none required" else I'm not sure though where this comes from and why FreeBSD linker does not complain about that?

Should be fine now, thanks for report.
