Bug 248887

Xastir 2.1.6 was released in April of 2020.  

FreeBSD's port still has 2.1.4 (over a year old), and that port was recently patched to fix the build with GCC 10 by adding "-fcommon" to the CFLAGS.  Xastir 2.1.6 has had its GCC 10 compatibility fixed so that sort of hack is no longer needed in the port if it were updated to the new version.  

There are also numerous other improvements over 2.1.4, including removal of obsolete options, and consolidation of some options that had previously been set up as independently selectable, but were in fact completely dependent on each other.  The build is simpler now, as some of these things that were previously user-selectable are automatic now -- notably, if shapelib support is requested and shapelib is found, pcre is also required *and* automatically enables dbfawk. The code that previously allowed shapelib support without dbfawk (and therefore pcre) has been removed.

This means that the current Makefile, which has no option for deselecting shapelib, but does have an option for selecting or deselecting DBFAWK, needs a little changing:  remove DBFAWK as an option and make pcre a required package along with shapelib (instead of dependent on the DBFAWK setting) and all should be well.
