Me neither.

If USE_LINUX_PREFIX=yes PREFIX defaults to LINUXBASE (/compat/linux);
and it makes sense not to install them since ports in case
PREFIX=LOCALBASE since it has very good chances to overwrite files with
the same name installed by native ports.

So I think that if PREFIX=LOCALBASE all USE_LINUX_PREFIX ports should be
marked broken.

I'm soooo reluctant to drop any port from checks ;-)

I'll try to find some way, I don't want to exclude all ports that
depend on linux_base from the run.
