Doesn't build for me on 4.9-STABLE with ports up to date from a couple of
days ago:

===>  Configuring for e2fsprogs-1.34.w20031207.m02
configure.in:646: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
configure.in:647: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
configure.in:648: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
configure.in:649: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
configure.in:658: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling
/usr/local/libexec/autoconf213/autoconf: cannot create configure: permission denied

The distfile seems to unpack with many files read only by default (this
is running as a normal user, not root).

What benefits are there from using a snapshot rather than 1.34 release?
