Exim 4.71 sed: 1: "s,XX_CFLAGS_XX,-O2 -fno ...": bad flag in substitute command: '-'

I had Exim 4.71 running fine, and after Perl-5.8.9_3 updated to Perl-5.10_1 with these steps:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff

1) Reinstall perl with new 5.10:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*

2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl

And during
# portupgrade -fr perl
the Exim package was knocked off unexpectedly.

Tried to deinstall it and after I tried install and got Error:
Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/mail/exim/ && make install clean
===>   exim-4.71 depends on file: /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.7 - found

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/mail/exim.
*** Error code 1

Anybody does have ideas on how to fix the issue and install the Exim back on again, please?
 
The message is a bit confusing, but it boils down to a bug in the substitution command; in particular the fact that it doesn't escape regexp special chars, in this case `-' -> `\-'.

Please contact the maintainer (krion@? might be better to contact ports@ because krion@'s been of the map for a while), and let them know about this (and the fact that they probably need to remove the -E -- which would solve this problem).

Nope.
Here are the lines in make.conf:
Code: 
CPUTYPE=athlon64
WITHOUT_X11=yes

NO_SENDMAIL=true
