            Bug ID: 245402
           Summary: devel/tigcc: Change BROKEN/DEPRECATED reason
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: cyberbotx at cyberbotx.com

So, I noticed that devel/tigcc was marked DEPRECATED because it has been marked
BROKEN for more than 6 months, due to its distfiles being unfetchable.

In attempting to resolve this, I found that the snapshot of gcc 4.1 that tigcc
requires (20060728) is not available on the GCC mirrors. Despite trying to
change the port to use the last 4.1 snapshot (20080630), it will not patch,
most likely because of hard references to the old snapshot.

As a result, because of how old the software is and because I don't know if
anyone actually uses tigcc under FreeBSD (I don't, I was just trying to keep it
maintained just in case), I'd like to change the reason for it being BROKEN and
DEPRECATED to say that it is unbuildable on modern systems, or something along
those lines.
