The index build is broken on 4.x because of use of .warning in
bsd.gnome.mk.  This directive was added to make(1) in April 2004,
i.e., in HEAD between 4.x and 5.x, and was never MFCed to RELENG_4.

While there probably aren't many people using GNOME on FreeBSD 4.x
systems any more, the fact that this breaks index builds on 4.x
suggests that the .warning directive should probably not be used
in the ports tree at this time.
