I had posted a couple of questions about my system suddenly refusing to 
build shared libraries and making my ports tool-based builds fail. The 
symptoms were that the host type was being misread as kfreebsd/gnu 
suggesting I had some Debian/FreeBSD frankenhost, and shared libraries 
would fail to build on most ports.

With some research from Pav Lucistnik <pav at FreeBSD.org>, a rogue file 
-- /usr/include/features.h -- was discovered and removed. It's dated 
Nov 21, 2001, and is claimed by no package so I have no idea how it got 
there. But as far as I can tell, that was the culprit.

I will add this info to the PR as well.
