An update. Synth is still crashing and I am attempting to also solve
that one in another thread. On this front, while working with synth I
noticed that the /usr/ports/distfiles directory no longer seems to be
created and used by default. Synth asked me to create one outside of
the ports tree and add it to make.conf. I did so,

To cut to the chase, this caused a whole slew of issues. The
postgresql11-server package created its own
/usr/ports/distfiles/postgresql directory, ignoring my setting of
DISTFILES=/var/distfiles, and all the dependencies of pg11 crashed for
the same reason.

Removing that new directory and accepting /usr/ports/distfiles as an
"is so" fact of life seems to have allowed the pg11 build to go
forward.

The workaround in make.conf for DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=llvm=10 is in there as well.

Back to the other thread in -stable! <wink>
