Yes, in this case, it would be rather IGNORE and not BROKEN, but
Fernando is right: the faulty port should be marked, not its consumers.
And the compilation farm will not even try to build them.

But yet better: I would prefer that the committer who pushed this commit
be notified, and that without a prompt reaction on his part, it be
reverted.
