           Summary: devel/p5-EV fails to build if devel/libinotify is
                    installed

Unfortunately during a rebuild of my ports on " FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE #0
r360490M: Fri May  1", this message was conveyed during the compilation phase:

"In file included from EV.xs:50:
libev/ev.c:510:11: fatal error: sys/statfs.h: No such file or directory
  510 | # include <sys/statfs.h>"

This was caused due to devel/libinotify having been installed earlier, as
required for openjdk8.

Deinstalling devel/libinotify and rebuilding was successful.

Things to note: it is a false assumption by p5-EV that sys/statfs.h is
available because devel/libinotify is installed.

If there was some way to force the configuration question (or something
similar):
"
A backend of a different kind is the Linux inotify(7) interface, which can
be used to speed up (and reduce resource consumption) of stat watchers. If
you have the include file and libc support for it, it is usually a good
idea to enable it, as kernel availability is detected at runtime.

Enable inotify support (y/n)? [n] n
"
to be n, would be the best outcome.
