 I just e-mailed the port maintainer the other day with exactly the same
 suggestion, but was met with some resistance.  He stated that the port *does*
 build, if you use CFLAGS+= instead of CFLAGS= in /etc/make.conf.  This is true
 enough, yet the standard make.conf under /usr/share/examples/etc uses CFLAGS=,
 not CFLAGS+=, so I really think people are more likely to have CFLAGS= in their
 own /etc/make.conf, which, of course, breaks the build of nedit.
 
 I suggested that, just to be on the safe side, he go ahead and add
 -DBUILD_BROKEN_NEDIT in the suggested location, i.e., by patching
 ${WORKDIR}/makefiles/Makefile.freebsd, *not* in the port's Makefile, which is
 insufficient in most cases.
 
 This really should be done, I think.

State-Changed-Why:  
Misfiled followup to ports/67617.  Content migrated. 

Note, however, that that PR has already been closed; whether it 
was closed after considering and rejecting the suggestion in this 
PR is a little bit difficult for me to determine.
