Something is  clearly messed up. Looking at the log I see:
configure:3475: checking for C++ compiler version
configure:3484: c++ --version >&5
FreeBSD clang version 3.4.1 (tags/RELEASE_34/dot1-final 208032)
20140512
Target: x86_64-unknown-freebsd10.3
Thread model: posix

This is followed by a lot of errors about compile options:
Selected GCC installation:
configure:3495: $? = 0
configure:3484: c++ -V >&5
c++: error: argument to '-V' is missing (expected 1 value)

This should be compiled by gcc, not clang. I don't know if there is
something that breaks this on 10.3, but it is unlikely as lots of
complaints should be coming in.

Do you have either /etc/make.conf or /etc/src.conf? If so, what is in them?
