I hope its solved...

I changed the following variable in /usr/pkg/share/mk/sys.mk

LDFLAGS?=

to

LDFLAGS?=       -mabi=64

if this doesn't work, try:

LDFLAGS?=       -mabi=64 -Wl,-64 (I think its overpowered)

Sorry, I'm not a programmer, I don't know if this [workaround] is the clean way
or not, please correct me, but it still works for me.
