Since the following commit ports is now broken on 8.3 and earlier.
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=352986

Now while 8.3 is now officially EOL as of 9 days ago such a
breakage so soon after the EOL seems very bad.

Can we consider reverting this and only applying after a
decent amount of time to give people the chance to update
without preventing them from getting port security updates etc?

    Regards
    Steve
