Maybe it was failing for pointhat - but certainly did not fail on my  Freebsd 
p3 amd64 (Intel Quad core). It was after I  upgraded to 2.5.0 that it was 
labelled as broken.

I have removed the Broke line from Makefile. It compiles without compalining 
but I have not tried to deinstall/reinstall in case I break the appl.

Comments please?
