>Description:
The last update to the x11/xstroke port Makefile has resulted in a
broken system that goes into an infinite loop attempting to generate
the value of the GETOPTDIR variable by:
GETOPTDIR!= cd ${PORTSDIR}/devel/libgnugetopt; make -V WRKSRC
The command depends on the value of ${PORTSDIR}, but that appears to
be null at the crucial time, so make -V WRKSRC gets run again in the
same directory. Etc. Ad nauseam.
Note this kills rebuilding INDEX and so affects rather more people
than just the people with x11/xstroke installed.
