Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

The pdftk port is limited to requiring old gcc versions currently. It should be modified to use the compilers portgroup to use gcc 4.9 at least.

The pdftk port cannot use a gcc other than 4.5 or 4.7 until those versions of gcc can compile java code correctly. (pdftk is written in java.) See #22066 and #40058.

The compilers portgroup seems to be geared towards ports needing to use fortran, not those needing to use java. (I did not find any occurrences of "java" or "gcj" in the compilers portgroup.)
