Could you pass --build=x64_64-portbld-freebsd$(version) to every 
'configure' invocation, not just gcc's and a few others?

If I understand you correctly, doing that would have avoided this 
particular problem, and it would avoid other potential problems with 
gnulib/m4's float_h.m4, host-cpu-c-abi.m4, lib-prefix.m4, multiarch.m4, 
printf.m4, as well as in GNU projects other than Gnulib (I haven't tried 
to catalog them).
