geos @3.3.0: Undefined symbols __ZNSt8auto_ptrIN4geos4geom8EnvelopeEEcvSt12auto_ptr_refIT_EIS2_EEv

When installing Geos 3.3.0 (for PostGIS), I got the following error:

:info:build Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

It did work if I installed Geos as follows:

sudo port install geos configure.cc=gcc-4.2 configure.cxx=g++-4.2

Please remember to cc the maintainer.

Apparently on Lion, ar is buggy, and that might be what's causing the issue. I'm not sure if it's related, but Atlas didn't compile either due to an ar bug (#30280). The maintainer ended up writing a shell script and used libtool to emulate ar. Not sure if a similar fix might work here.
