--- Comment #6 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs@snkmail.com> ---
While there was an example for x11-toolkits/pango, the original bug report =
was
decidedly not specific to that port.  It was more general.  I'd wager that
repurposing this bug to be just a pango one is not what the OP was intendin=
g.

I thing I am seeing that the response to the OP from an infrastructure poin=
t of
view is that the weakness is known, probably won't be fixed more generally =
in
ports/Mk (rather should be addressed on a port case-by-case basis) and has
workarounds available via poudriere, portmaster, and the like (although the
tools that use a sandbox can mask problems when the full installed ports tr=
ee
is not used to build the packages).

The original "bug", however, doesn't fit well in bugzilla as opposed to a
discussion forum such as ports@ - or if there is a proposed infrastructure =
fix
perhaps at reviews.freebsd.org.

I think this bug should have been closed as "answered" or "no general fix
immediately available" and new ones opened for the individual cases rather =
than
transforming it to a bug for one of the individual cases.
