Well, the patch will surely work for many, since it removes svg 
functionality, where the problem is. I found another way to get past the 
"internal compiler error" - I just ran the problematic c++ line, with 
removed the -O2 and replaced it with -O. That make the compiler happy. 
Since my CFLAGS="-O -pipe", I'm also humbly wondering how come it still 
builds with -O2. (although I know it is hopeless to get linux-centric 
software not to build with -O2... sometimes it annoyes me a bit).

Longest PR in history ;-)  didn't really find the clue there, though.  My 
system has

# make -V OSVERSION
504103

so it appears the port expects svg to work for me; well, it doesn't, unless 
I build that specific file with no more than -O1.  (Just posted similar 
info to gnome@).
