I've put the individual ports on my to-do list, but some general comments:

I'm sorry, but I don't have the cycles to spend 30min/port when I'm going
through hundreds of failures in an attempt to bring an arch up to parity.

As I've said before, this was my mistake in not double-checking to ensure
the development portsmon instance was working right; I wasn't seeing the
11.x errors.  I've fixed the bug there.

I'm trying to hold the machine I am running regression tests on to one
version of installed ports and one version of source.  There are too many
moving parts otherwise.  It's taken several months as it is.

I believe we will need several more -trybroken runs in the future to catch
all the stragglers.  This is especially frustrating right now because I'm
having to wait for llvm40, webkit2-gtk3, and ffmpeg each to run (serially)
to analyze the complete results of the armv6 -trybroken I am currently
running.

I would like to get all the commits that will result from that in before
the new year, but now I am beginning to doubt it.

After the new year I intend to issue a more general call for help on the
arm ports.  Right now there is still no way to see the forest for the trees.

All IMHO.
