Doesn't the MALLOC_OPTIONS environment variable override /etc/malloc.conf
settings?  My tests just now indicate that it does.  In that case, wouldn't
something like:

MAKE_ENV+=	MALLOC_OPTIONS="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

fix any problems not related to '<' or '>' in /etc/malloc.conf?

(and I really doubt that '<' or '>' could make a program fail as opposed
 to just negatively impact performance..)

Yes, I know it's ugly; however, if a port build is really affected by
malloc(3) options, IMHO they should be set to a known good value.

G'luck,
Peter
