So, I studied this log and www/seamonkey/Makefile, and what I do
not see is where the following dependencies are coming from?

Neither USE_GMAKE nor USE_GCC are set by this port.  So, how are 
these two triggered?

I see one instances of USE_GCC in firefox/Makefile, but only under
option PGO which does not look like it's on by default?

I cannot exclude this, though to me it appears the answer to "Why
is GCC being detected as a missing dependency later in the game,
but not up front?" seems to be crucial.


What makes me very suspicious is this:

  ports.svn/www/seamonkey> make test-gcc
  make: don't know how to make test-gcc. Stop

This indicates that Mk/bsd.gcc.mk is _not_ included properly!
