Some of these have been addressed by (uncommitted) patches from several developers, but there remain a number of serious problems. Since this issue is holding up the release of the 5.0 Developer Preview #2 release (and thereby 5.0-RELEASE), these changes will be backed out until the bsd.port.mk patch can be made to work correctly in all cases.
