For example, in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf, when I type 'make', it'll run extract, patch and configure repeatedly until I hit CTRL-C. Then the directory like the following got created: /usr/ports/devel/autoconf/work/autoconf-2.53/work/autoconf-2.53/work/autoconf-2.53/work/autoconf-2.53/work This doesn't affect all the ports, but quite a few ports are affected. I'd assume there's something wrong in one of the mk file but I'm not quite sure. Any idea? BTW, I'm on FreeBSD 4.6.1-RELEASE.
