How to get multimedia/libvpx to build on a world that was built using WITHOUT_BINUTILS (armv7 example)

[Mark Millard]

[Note: My armv7 context builds ports with -mcpu=cortex-a7 via a make.conf
like file. The in-use world also was built with -mcpu=cortex-a7 .]

In order to avoid the likes of:

.  . .
as -meabi=5 --defsym ARCHITECTURE=7 -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon -I./ -I"/wrkdirs/usr/ports/multimedia/libvpx/work/libvpx-1.7.0"/ -o vpx_dsp/arm/intrapred_neon_asm.asm.S.o vpx_dsp/arm/intrapred_neon_asm.asm.S
/bin/sh: as: not found
gmake[2]: *** [Makefile:199: vpx_dsp/arm/intrapred_neon_asm.asm.S.o] Error 127
gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:17: .DEFAULT] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/wrkdirs/usr/ports/multimedia/libvpx/work/libvpx-1.7.0'
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/multimedia/libvpx
. . .

in a context where FreeBSD world was built using WITHOUT_BINUTILS=
and then installed as the context for building ports, I made a change
to multimedia/libvpx/Makefile . I used:

# svnlite diff /usr/ports/multimedia/libvpx/Makefile 
Index: /usr/ports/multimedia/libvpx/Makefile

After which the reattempted build via poudriere-devel got:

(That text was actually taken from a amd64->armv7 cross-build environment
output.)
