>Description:
Gnu configure can be considerably faster if a common cache file is used
for all builds. Unfortunately, adding
CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --cache-file=/usr/local/src/config.cache
to /etc/make.conf does not DTRT because all the ports override the value
of this variable after make.conf is sourced. You have to edit
/usr/share/mk/bds.port.mk instead.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build two pieces of software using the ports collection. They will use
individual config.cache files.
>Fix:
Either (1) alter bsd.port.mk to use a common config.cache by default,
or (2) change all the ports (!) so that they don't override the value
of CONFIG_ARGS set by make.conf.
