I was not aware of that. What is the problem? Perhaps, if it is not all
ready available, the FreeBSD developers can devise some directive to
place in the '/etc/make.conf' file that would force the use of the
'port' version instead if it was available in a fashion similar to what
is done with OpenSSL; i.e. "WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes". Perhaps,
"WITH_BINUTILS_PORT=yes".
