FreeBSD Port: subversion-1.1.4 amd64/opteron -fPIC failure

[Mike Schroll]

I get the following build error on FreeBSD-5.4-RC3 on an amd64 (opteron) 
system.

I have the following set in make.conf
CFLAGS?= -Os -fPIC -pipe

The issue is resolved when I set it to
CFLAGS= -Os -fPIC -pipe

This should be an easy fix to make the port either use the CFLAGS, or 
just set -fPIC on the appropriate architectures.
