Description Anton Shterenlikht 2014-07-12 15:57:14 UTC 
*** Configuration armv6-portbld-freebsd10.0 is obsolete.
*** Specify --enable-obsolete to build it anyway.
*** Support will be REMOVED in the next major release of GCC,
*** unless a maintainer comes forward.
gmake[4]: *** [configure-gcc] Error 1
gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/lang/gcc/work/build'

I'm not particularly interested in this port.
I was pulled in to build something else.

I don't undertand the message.
Does this mean that in 11-stable lang/gcc will
be gcc48?

Or does this mean that lang/gcc will be removed
as a whole in 11-stable armv6?

Please explain

What you see here is a message coming from GCC itself.

This appears to be lang/gcc, hence GCC 4.7, so I'd expect GCC 4.8 and
lang/gcc48 and in the future lang/gcc (when it is updated from GCC 4.7
to GCC 4.8) to no longer support this at all.

That said, the following in lang/gcc/Makefile

  ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= amd64 i386 powerpc powerpc64 sparc64

clearly indicates that arm* is not enabled for FreeBSD.


11-stable versus 10-whatever versus 9-whatever has nothing to do with
this at all.  Ports and base are completely orthogonal.
