Well golly gee. After days of working along with a 32-bit install it seems clear that the DVD+RW media I had used was in fact NOT being blanked before a write attempt and if I had very carefully watched the output from cdrecord I would have seen the error message. However I did not and also did not bother to even check the /bin/ls ELF binary : eris# uname -a FreeBSD eris 12.0-RC1 FreeBSD 12.0-RC1 r340470 GENERIC powerpc eris# which ls /bin/ls eris# file /bin/ls /bin/ls: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1, FreeBSD-style, for FreeBSD 12.0 (1200086), stripped eris# Much better. Performance is not stellar but then again nothing is on an old G5 : eris# /usr/bin/time -p /usr/sbin/portsnap fetch extract . . . Building new INDEX files... done. real 1018.50 user 349.51 sys 627.27 Workable. Something I should have checked more closely on the 32-bit instance: eris# eris# uname -aipKU FreeBSD eris 12.0-RC1 FreeBSD 12.0-RC1 r340470 GENERIC powerpc powerpc64 GENERIC 1200086 1200086 eris# eris# uname -p powerpc64 eris# I have no idea what that said for a 32-bit install. In any case I apologize for my noises made and will go back to the task now of walking slowly through each of the ports I need. One by one doing a build and watching what happens. Here is the list I need as a minimum: eris# eris# pkg query %t\ %n\ %v\ %o | sort -n 1542499292 dialog4ports 0.1.6 ports-mgmt/dialog4ports 1542507622 pkg 1.10.5_5 ports-mgmt/pkg 1542548687 indexinfo 0.3.1 print/indexinfo 1542549084 gettext-runtime 0.19.8.1_2 devel/gettext-runtime 1542551673 gettext-tools 0.19.8.1_1 devel/gettext-tools 1542553795 perl5 5.28.0_2 lang/perl5.28 1542554307 p5-Locale-gettext 1.07 devel/p5-Locale-gettext 1542554519 gmake 4.2.1_3 devel/gmake 1542554683 help2man 1.47.8_1 misc/help2man 1542555461 texinfo 6.5_1,1 print/texinfo 1542556726 gmp 6.1.2_1 math/gmp 1542557887 mpfr 4.0.1_2 math/mpfr 1542563145 pkgconf 1.5.4,1 devel/pkgconf 1542563202 xorg-macros 1.19.2 devel/xorg-macros 1542563292 xtrans 1.3.5 x11/xtrans 1542563425 xorgproto 2018.4 x11/xorgproto 1542563584 libXau 1.0.8_5 x11/libXau 1542563861 libXdmcp 1.1.2_2 x11/libXdmcp 1542563981 libsigsegv 2.12 devel/libsigsegv 1542564399 m4 1.4.18_1,1 devel/m4 1542564448 autoconf-wrapper 20131203 devel/autoconf-wrapper 1542564631 autoconf 2.69_2 devel/autoconf 1542564790 automake 1.16.1_1 devel/automake 1542564925 libtool 2.4.6_1 devel/libtool 1542565154 check 0.12.0_1 devel/check 1542565292 libffi 3.2.1_3 devel/libffi 1542565623 readline 7.0.3_2 devel/readline 1542566169 python27 2.7.15 lang/python27 1542566525 libxml2 2.9.7 textproc/libxml2 1542566547 xcb-proto 1.13 x11/xcb-proto 1542566573 libpthread-stubs 0.4 devel/libpthread-stubs 1542566870 libgpg-error 1.32_1 security/libgpg-error 1542567232 libgcrypt 1.8.4_1 security/libgcrypt 1542567404 libxslt 1.1.32 textproc/libxslt 1542567858 libxcb 1.13.1 x11/libxcb 1542568797 libX11 1.6.6_1,1 x11/libX11 1542568898 libXext 1.3.3_3,1 x11/libXext 1542569010 libICE 1.0.9_3,1 x11/libICE 1542569087 libSM 1.2.3,1 x11/libSM 1542569284 libXt 1.1.5_2,1 x11-toolkits/libXt 1542569409 libXmu 1.1.2_5,1 x11-toolkits/libXmu 1542569460 xauth 1.0.10 x11/xauth 1542571703 ksh93 20120801_2 shells/ksh93 1542577534 bison 3.1_1,1 devel/bison 1542581342 binutils 2.30_6,1 devel/binutils 1542581536 mpc 1.1.0_2 math/mpc 1542628590 gcc7 7.3.0_6 lang/gcc7 1542638224 expat 2.2.6_1 textproc/expat2 1542638558 libiconv 1.14_11 converters/libiconv 1542643400 gdb 8.2 devel/gdb eris# That is fairly close to exactly what I have on x86_64.
