So... I confess a lack of familiarity with lex, yacc, and their
work-alikes.  It also appears that x11-wm/tvtwm (for which MAINTAINER is
this list -- ports@FreeBSD.org) is likely similarly affected.

I understand that the immediate cause is a recent change; in
http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?B7F9F85B-60A4-4A87-9911-BDE1CBC7BC91,
dim@ mentioned:

| This is because clang 11 (and gcc 10) now default to -fno-common. The
| rationale is explained pretty well in...

and goes on to state:
| A quick fix is to add CFLAGS+=3D-fcommon to your make.conf, but that is
| rather a big hammer. It is better to add it to just the ports that show
| problems due to duplicated symbols. And ideally, those duplicated
| symbols should be patched out of the ports.

So:  apparently *a* way around this is to change the Makefile (to
include 'CFLAGS+=3D-fcommon') -- but I don't know if a "better" approach
is feasible: we are dealing with some rather old (or, perhaps,
"well-established") code, here.

Advice/suggestions?

Thanks!

Peace,
david
