Please assign someone knowledgeable about this problem to the task of searching the entire ports collection for all instances of this same bug. Carl / K0802647 >How-To-Repeat: env TARGET_ARCH=i386 make >Fix: The attached patch applied to /usr/ports/sysutils/libutempter/Makefile fixed the problem for me, just as similar patches worked for problem reports ports/147853, ports/151224, ports/156607, ports/157457, and ports/157479. Note that the eventually committed fix for ports/156607 is implemented differently. Since I do not really understand the problem, my patch is not intended to imply an optimal solution.
