Duh-oh!  Of course!

Problem solved :-)

Fixed by: 
        make clean && make config && make install

The 'make config'  on the FreeBSD ports system just pops up a little text-mode 
dialog that lets you tick or untick particular options.  Making sure that 
Assembly Optimizations were unticked was all that was needed to solve that 
problem.

Many thanks!
