The port seems to be configured to use the system installed m4 checking for m4... /usr/bin/m4 The translation fails with the error: m4: syntax error in expr 2 ** 4 m4: syntax error in expr 2 ** 4 and the assembly of the output fails with error return: aes-decrypt-internal.s: Assembler messages: aes-decrypt-internal.s:102: Error: alignment not a power of 2 aes-decrypt-internal.s:140: Error: alignment not a power of 2 gmake[1]: *** [aes-decrypt-internal.o] Error 1 I finagled things to use the gm4 from the ports collection. Nettle builds and installs without problems using that version of m4. I have not investigated to determine where the differences in the two implementations of m4 lie. I suspect there may be issues with other ports that use m4. >How-To-Repeat: Build the /usr/ports/security/nettle port on a version of FreeBSD Current (as of Dec. 5). >Fix: For building nettle, reconfigure nettle to use gm4. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
