I had no troubles with the likes of mpfr
when I tried building based on the modern
material.

So the specific problem is fixed.


Points of note:

I had to have the following already
installed to get the build to happen:

print/texinfo
misc/help2man
devel/p5-Locale-gettext
devel/gettext-tools

devel/bison
devel/gmake
lang/perl5.24

The README did not mention any of them.
(base/gcc's attempts to build such failed.)

There are naming oddities for:

base/gcc vs. devel/powerpc64-gcc

Both use powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-
prefixes (but devel/powerpc64-binutils uses
powerpc64-freebsd- prefixes).

There are the /usr/bin/ vs. /usr/local/bin/
sorts of path differences as well so the
matching names for devel/powerpc64-gcc and
base/gcc make for ties to PATH order.
