conflict between cairo and chkrootkit ports

It took a while to track this one down.

security/chkrootkit (0.47) provides a replacement 'strings' command in
/usr/local/bin, that doesn't understand the '-' argument.

configure in graphics/cairo (1.4.2) uses 'strings - conftest.$ac_objext'
to look for "seesnoon" / "noonsees" to determine the floating point
endianess.

The symptom ends up being:

================
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no
checking whether float word ordering is bigendian... fopen: No such file or directory
fopen: No such file or directory
unknown
configure: error:
Unknown float word ordering. You need to manually preset ax_cv_c_float_words_bigendian=no (or yes) according to your system.
================

If/how you solve this is up to you.
