Xastir 2.1.6 was released in April of 2020.  

FreeBSD's port still has 2.1.4 (over a year old), and that port was recently
patched to fix the build with GCC 10 by adding "-fcommon" to the CFLAGS. 
Xastir 2.1.6 has had its GCC 10 compatibility fixed so that sort of hack is no
longer needed in the port if it were updated to the new version.  

There are also numerous other improvements over 2.1.4, including removal of
obsolete options, and consolidation of some options that had previously been
set up as independently selectable, but were in fact completely dependent on
each other.  The build is simpler now, as some of these things that were
previously user-selectable are automatic now -- notably, if shapelib support is
requested and shapelib is found, pcre is also required *and* automatically
enables dbfawk. The code that previously allowed shapelib support without
dbfawk (and therefore pcre) has been removed.

This means that the current Makefile, which has no option for deselecting
shapelib, but does have an option for selecting or deselecting DBFAWK, needs a
little changing:  remove DBFAWK as an option and make pcre a required package
along with shapelib (instead of dependent on the DBFAWK setting) and all should
be well.
