To followup on one of my own posts; the Makefile in
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base includes the following definition:

REMOVE_DIRS= /dev /home /root /tmp /var/tmp /usr/local /usr/tmp
                                            ^^^^^^^^^^

And, later on:

#
# Finish
#
.if defined(NEEDLOADLINK)
        @${RM} -rf ${PREFIX}/compat
.endif
        @for D in ${REMOVE_DIRS}; do \
                ${RM} -rf ${PREFIX}/$$D; \
        done

Am I completely unclear about what's happening?  Is /usr/local
*supposed* to be removed for some reason?  I would have appreciated at 
least a warning, since I had placed some linux-specific software under 
/usr/local (/compat/linux/usr/local).

According to Russell D. Murphy Jr. (February 17, 2000):

| gone now. . ..  I may try to NFS mount a matlab installation from
| another machine tomorrow to see what happens.
