>Description:
ports/Makefile uses a very old syntax for sort(1) in building an INDEX file.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build INDEX with textproc/bsdsort.
Trying to force Gnu sort into POSIX mode might do it also.
>Fix:
I'm not 100% sure of the field counts in the patch, because the old
syntax isn't very precisely documented. I did some quick tests to
check it, though, so I think it's probably correct.
