Since there's pending work going on surrounding the whole linux_base
thing right now, I'm kinda loathed to touch the port itself for fear of
toe-stepping, but
ports/emulators/linux_base/Makefile
is broken on !i386 as it stands. A quick local fix would be to replace
the two instances of .error with IGNORE= <whatever text it was>
That will at least allow the index to build.
Hrm. Perhaps the index generation needs to be expanded a bit more now
in the days of 'make fetchindex', and have it pull a file based not only
on OS revision, but also machine architecture, along with the relevant
building of such indexes which would catch these !i386 errors
considerably quicker.
