The problem isn't seen in ports which use configure scripts, gmake or
sed/perl methods of getting CFLAGS into the build. People test with
this...
I've never found the time to solve this. The solution needs to involve
preventing the system .mk files (including make.conf) from setting
variables which are already set and in use by bsd.port.mk. My simplest
idea was to set a PORT_BUILDING variable and avoid including make.conf
and (now) bsd.cpu.mk at the end of sys.mk.
I really appreciate if you could find a fix for this.
Regards,
-Jeremy
