FWIW:

It's quite likely that it's also not broken with gcc4 from ports. Seems that 
the particular version used for 7.0 has some problems that newer snapshots 
don't have. Unfortunately the 7.0 version of gcc is not available through 
ports. But a slightly newer one is.

I'm seeing a similar problem with x11-toolkits/py-kde, builds fine on 6 with 
gcc4 from ports but fails on pointyhat with 7.

This may be a broader problem with that particular gcc that affects more 
ports. If it were up to me, I'd say sync with gcc4 from ports before 
releasing 7.0
