Bug 208538: www/firefox 45 fails to build on Freebsd 9.3
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208538



--- Description ---
Trying to build firefox 45 on my 9.3 system, it fails at configure time with
the attached config.log.

The proximal cause of the configure failure is:
configure:10729: checking for PIE support
configure:10740: gcc48 -o conftest -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector
-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib/gcc48 -fno-strict-aliasing -std=gnu99 -fgnu89-inline

-fstack-protector -Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib/gcc48 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc48
-Wl,-z,noexecstack -Wl,-z,text -Wl,--build-id -pie conftest.c  1>&5
