faad2 build error

[DA Forsyth]

Hiya all

I keep getting this when building faad2

===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to multimedia at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and 
attach
the "/usr/ports/audio/faad/work/faad2-2.7/config.log" including the 
output
of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to 
provide
an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/audio/faad.
----------------------

I mailed the maintainer last week but have had no reply and no 
action.

I have looked at the code in 'configure' and cannot see a problem 
with line 2553, except maybe that it needs to be one line, and 
possibly needs quotes.  However, I've tried those changes but cannot 
seem to make them stick as the file gets rewritten somehwere in the 
make process.

Any ideas or workarounds?
