I should have mentioned that I did not realize that Baptiste was no
longer in portmgr when I made the commit, or when he subsequently posted
his suggestion regarding the /usr/local hierarch on ports at .

Having it off by default is nearly as bad as not having it at all.

I'll revert (and bump PORTREVISION again) but please consider the harm
you are doing to FreeBSD as a development platform by rejecting this
change and refusing to fix gcc's hardcoded library path (it's been
broken for years, but I didn't notice until we removed gcc from base,
because the base gcc didn't have that bug).
