Alexander, many thanks for the explanation. My question was related to
(1) an old freebsd-ports@ post (written by you):
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2004-March/009943.html
(2) the recent user question regarding running Linux versions of GHDL
and/or GNAT compilers on FreeBSD-amd64:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-August/155758.html
So your explanation answers the question from (2) (correct?) as well as
why linux_devel and linux_devtools ports were erased.
