oh, i thought that would be too long. i have attached one from a port i just
chose at random now.

for the record, i was building/updating ports just fine till a few days ago.
i csup'd src and built world+kernel early this week, but still updated a
couple of ports fine after that. besides that, only other changes to my
system was adding kde4 (through packages) to tryit out, then deleted that
plus qt4 stuff with pkg_delete.

this is the error using /ports/mail/fetchmail

(( /usr/ports/mail/fetchmail/work/fetchmail-6.3.8/config.log ))
ce la vie
