Hello Roman,

If you run 'make clean' in /usr/ports... :) You should run 'make'
commands in /usr/ports/aaa/bbb/ directories. As of bash, it has a few
dependencies and compiles pretty quicky.

But if I misunderstood what you actually did to trigger 18-hour
compilation, please provide a bit of buildlog, nobody can say what
happened without it.

The current bash version is 3.2, so why don't upgrade your ports tree
first ('portsnap fetch update')? 'make fetch' just passed without size
mismatches for me, whatever is the reason with the old port version.
