compiling xpdf on amd64 on 7.0

[Dieter]

Is there a particular type of goat that needs to be sacrificed
to get xpdf to compile on amd64 running 7.0?

Problem #1:

/usr/ports/devel/p5-Locale-gettext

===>   p5-gettext-1.05_1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 - found
===>   p5-gettext-1.05_1 depends on shared library: intl - found
===>  Configuring for p5-gettext-1.05_1
checking for gettext...NOT USING GCC-4
 no
checking for gettext in -L/usr/local/lib -lintl -I/usr/local/include...NOT USING GCC-4
 no
gettext function not found. Please install libintl at ./Makefile.PL line 18.
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/p5-Locale-gettext.

After figuring out that I'm not supposed to install libintl into the
Makefile.PL file at line 18, but rather build and install port libintl,
I get...

Problem #2:

cd /usr/ports/devel/p5-Locale-libintl
make

Editing the Makefile to build static instead of shared doesn't work.
Removing -DPIC -fPIC doesn't work either.

I'm afraid to think how much stuff would break if I tried changing
/usr/lib/crtbeginT.o.

So what is the secret?
