The conflicting files are only sample files, listing all files for all ports
would make the list too complex. Conflicting files include:

devel/*-binutils
  include/ansidecl.h
  include/bfd.h
  include/bfdlink.h
  lib/libbfd.a
  lib/libbfd.la
  lib/libiberty.a
  lib/libopcodes.a
  lib/libopcodes.la

devel/*-gcc:
  bin/cpp
  bin/gcov
  lib/libiberty.a

and I would be surprised if I install devel/m6811-gcc to play around a bit,
deinstall it because I don't use it any longer and devel/mingw32-gcc stops
working. The same is true for include/ansidecl.h...

If I were willing to accept this I could install the ports with
DISABLE_CONFLICTS=yes
