patch to unbreak net/nmsg build on FreeBSD 8.x amd64

net/nmsg fails to build on amd64 machines running FreeBSD 8.x because the version of binutils in base in FreeBSD 8 does not understand the crc32 instructions that this code uses on amd64.  Only in this particular corner case, set USE_GCC=yes as a big club to get the ports version of gcc, which will use a more capable version of binutils from ports.
Comment 1 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-17 23:35:10 UTC 
technically it needs to check ${OPSYS} == FreeBSD whenever ${OSVERSION} is used.  In this case, it won't hurt dragonfly because the value is never less than 900000.
Comment 2 William Grzybowski freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-18 12:59:28 UTC 
Is 8.x still supported? IIRC 8.x support has been officially dropped some time ago, no?
Comment 3 John Marino freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-08-18 13:01:15 UTC 
8.4 is still supported.
