I can confirm that the current git master (version 0.140, gtk2 build, dated 2015-05-15, not yet released) fails to build
on Yosemite using the default libc++.  However, it does build and run with libstdc++ using

configure.cxx_stdlib libstdc++

because none of its dependencies use libc++.

Since it's not likely that any other port using libc++ will have a binary dependency on pan2, isn't this a permissible
configuration for this port on Mavericks and Yosemite until the libc++ issue is addressed upstream? Haven't checked
whether this will work on El Capitan as yet.
