Since there's pending work going on surrounding the whole linux_base 
thing right now, I'm kinda loathed to touch the port itself for fear of 
toe-stepping, but

	ports/emulators/linux_base/Makefile

is broken on !i386 as it stands.  A quick local fix would be to replace 
the two instances of .error with IGNORE= <whatever text it was>

That will at least allow the index to build.

Hrm.  Perhaps the index generation needs to be expanded a bit more now 
in the days of 'make fetchindex', and have it pull a file based not only 
on OS revision, but also machine architecture, along with the relevant 
building of such indexes which would catch these !i386 errors 
considerably quicker.
