That said, this patch is the wrong place to fix a problem to autotools. It needs to be fixed in autotools, not bsd.port.mk. No matter if it's bsd.ports.mk or autotools, such a fix needs proper testing, for which we do not currently have the resources as we are concentrating on releasing 9.0. I would suggest you do the same and make 9.0 the best release possible during the next few weeks, after that we'll start looking into 10.0.
I have to admit that my reaction is not so much "Why won't you fix ports for 10.0" as "Why was 9.0 dropped out of CURRENT and 10.0 introduced before 9.0 went STABLE?"
Jim
At this point 9.0 and 10.0 are virtually identical. I really doubt that there will be much development in -CURRENT till after 9.0 is released anyway.
A couple of the temporary fixes worked for me, so I can still update if I need to. All in all this is minor compared to a few years ago when all development was done directly on the head branch. You never knew from day to day and sometimes by the hour if -CURRENT would even build let alone run. This is just a bump in the road by comparison.
