You are, if we are ditching the system library in favor on one in ports. Not polite, but I do not see a polite way out of this. The libraries from ports are effectively shipped with incompatible ABI in this area for about 4 years now. Luckily for us, breakage does not seem to be affecting great many applications, as they do not use the changed interface directly themselves. libobjc2 is the only known at the moment that is known to be affected. --=20 Alexander Kabaev --Sig_/KcVFX_4kJr5=dL/7Jz4Q3lm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFPbOHcQ6z1jMm+XZYRAjm4AKCrBvGXiZTqv3tXBB0U91+yr3q+wgCguq91 mlnaRHLrtfAMlQcdy638YiE= =26rW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/KcVFX_4kJr5=dL/7Jz4Q3lm--
