Sorry this is my fault.

    We had minor but serious implementation difference in rtld.c between FreeBSD and NetBSD/Linux/Solaris which had been inducing very weired problem, and workaround also inducing a hard-to-track bug. It was fixed after 5.2.1-RELEASE and 4.10-RELEASE. Please see commit log also for details. So we decided to mark these port as BROKEN for them. However, an unconfirmed patch for rtld.c is available, and it is totally unsupported. At your own risk, and feedback is welcome.

I don't recommend you to do it...even I don't confirm that patch can
be applied cleanly. and in the worst case you must reinstall entier
FreeBSD. I'm serious.
