	The problem is with imake not playing nice with the cpp from clang.  The
	best solution is to not use imake, but that's probably far from trivial
	to fix.

$ grep -c imake /usr/ports/INDEX-10
291

This issue must cause problems for
quite a few other ports.
So is it an agreed policy to migrate away from
imake in time for 10-release?
This seems an important strategic issue to discuss.
My port is relatively small, and I probably
can, with time and help, migrate to BSD make,
for example. Just don't want to do this,
unless this is the majority opinion, and
the likely direction for the future.

Thanks

Anton
