Well AFAIR it's not; I think a recent change to bsd.port.mk requires
USE_GCC to be set to some useful value, where previously the port
internally used USE_GCC for its own purposes.  So we've overloaded
the meaning of the variable.  At least this is what I recall.

But you're correct in that the current situation is broken.  I don't
know enough about the problem to suggest a correct fix.

You might try rebuilding this port without that line in it to prove
that it really will build that way.
