This time I saw it too - linker from yesterday's buildworld caused building 
XFree-clients to fail during a portupgrade with (paraphrased, since like a 
total moron I forgot to save the error output): libexpat.so.5 not found. This 
in spite of libexpat.so.5 being in /usr/local/lib and having -L/usr/local/lib 
on the compile line.

Building ld again as described by Sean in his original message fixes the 
problem.
