Sorry, I didn't see this on PortsMon on time of checking the port update (may
be because of outdated information):

Sure, I can close it or it could be marked as duplicate of bug #206751.

I also didn't have issues on amd64 for build and run without changes for PIC
flags, but after reading the build log I found "-fPIC" added, along with "-DPIC
-fpic", which was strange from the logic of the port's Makefile. Then I found
following commit, which was cause of this:
http://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/code/ci/255c6d20fa88b2aa1ebbc67c0a139f6f1595d126/

After reading parts of GCC documentation, the svn logs for
x11-toolkits/scintilla port, related to sparc64 architecture,  I decided to
propose current solution. Unfortunately, I can't test this on other
architectures to be sure.

Anyway, there is a possibility to use the proposed sed patch for PICFLAGS
define, if you find it useful.
