--- Comment #6 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs at snkmail.com> ---
While there was an example for x11-toolkits/pango, the original bug report was
decidedly not specific to that port.  It was more general.  I'd wager that
repurposing this bug to be just a pango one is not what the OP was intending.

I thing I am seeing that the response to the OP from an infrastructure point of
view is that the weakness is known, probably won't be fixed more generally in
ports/Mk (rather should be addressed on a port case-by-case basis) and has
workarounds available via poudriere, portmaster, and the like (although the
tools that use a sandbox can mask problems when the full installed ports tree
is not used to build the packages).

The original "bug", however, doesn't fit well in bugzilla as opposed to a
discussion forum such as ports@ - or if there is a proposed infrastructure fix
perhaps at reviews.freebsd.org.

I think this bug should have been closed as "answered" or "no general fix
immediately available" and new ones opened for the individual cases rather than
transforming it to a bug for one of the individual cases.
