For various reasons I deleted /usr/ports (in prep to repopulate it
from a local cvs repo) so can't test this right now... but the orginal
question is due to a PR I will be filing as soon I have a working
browser on the machine in question... the PR is that if you install
libtool-1.5 under 8-current (amd64 only???) it will incorrectly ID the
installed OS and give errors about "freebsd-" not being defined as a
platform type... the hand fix is to find the line that has that and
add -elf to it but the root cause is something about 8-current makes
it so it is ID'ed wrong.
