It works.  If I just add "CPP= cpp -P" to the stock port makefile, then
it builds fine.  I check "cpp -P" on FreeBSD 10, it seems clang cpp just
ignores the -P even though it's not a listed option.

I guess if we want to use this, the fix would be something like
"CPP+= -P"

Would all the FreeBSD releases accept "CPP+= -P" ?
