Moin moin Ports are meant to depend on each other, so that when you for example fix a vulnerability in expat, all the ports that use expat profit from the fix automatically. When using static linkage, you will not get that benefit. Note, if being 'static' is what makes 'sysutils/mstflint-lite' is the main ingredient, I think calling that port "-lite" instead of "-static" does a disservice to the end-user :) You can easily get that to build again by just toggling the option on for now. mfg Tobias
