 Anton,
 I am not following your thought-process on why you need to "reproduce" this.
 
 I said, "The post-patch target never makes a match".
 
 All it requires is visual inspection of Makefile.in to verify this.  It
 is impossible to match it because the pattern doesn't start at the
 beginning of a line which sed requires, is that not obvious?
 
 Why do you require more to see this error?
 
 A successful build doesn't prove the port is correct, only that it can
 build on that platform without the CFLAGS that the port makefile defines.
 
 Please review the post-patch target instructions and the patch target
 (Makefile.in) and I think the error will become clear to you.
 
 Thanks,
 John
