Have the problem myself. There are ports with security vulnerabilities
and the recent change broke make for ports. I went to Google and
found lots of other people with the same problem. The suggested fix
is to use the make from 6.4. Hence my request.

Upgrading a port can be done without rebooting the machine. Upgrading
the O/S is a MUCH more major undertaking and is almost never a "clean"
process. Plus the time investment multiplied by many machines is huge
(and dreaded).

So, any chance of getting a 6.4 make compiled for 6.3?
