Port collection was updated recently (Sept 15, 2004).

>Description:

When the environment variable $CXXFLAGS is defined the following
message is produced by ``configure'':

checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking dependency style of c++... gcc3
expr: illegal option -- O
usage: expr [-e] expression
checking for gcc... cc
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes

This happens because the $CXXFLAGS starts with the character '-'
and expr interprets it as it's own flags, not argument.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd /usr/ports/textproc/aspell
make ASPELL_EN=YES

>Fix:

Apply the following patch:

--- configure.old       Thu Sep 16 11:33:12 2004
+++ configure   Thu Sep 16 11:35:04 2004
