... the tiff port appears to be busted. This manifests as it being
uninstallable.
The culprit appears to be in the libtiff Makefile, where the following
construct :
libtiff.a: ${OBJS}
${AR} rc libtiff.a $?
${RANLIB} libtiff.a
fails to do anything useful with '$?', and 'ar' dies.
Replacing $? with ${OBJS} appears to fix this, but not being a Makefile
guru I realise that this isn't necessarily the 'right' way to do it.
