How many ports does that break?

As somebody with /usr/local/bin/ before /usr/bin/ in his $PATH, I've
run into a steady trickle of ports over the years that break when
various ports shadow base utils, and texinfo is the prime offender.
e.g., recently (and still brokenly) lang/guile as
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189386> says.
