Yay!  It seems to have worked in 8.0-CURRENT here...

I've uploaded the patch for 8.0-CURRENT at:

    http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/diff/games-mtree.diff

and the patch for 7-STABLE at:

    http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/diff/games-mtree.stable7.diff

The `games-mtree.stable7.diff' should apply on top of today's 7-STABLE
source tree with:

    # cd /var/tmp ; fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/diff/games-mtree.stable7.diff
    # cd /usr/src ; patch -p0 < /var/tmp/games-mtree.stable7.diff

Can you patch your 7-STABLE /usr/src source tree and run another build &
install cycle?  I think WITHOUT_GAMES=yes should work then.
