Common Desktop Environment broken when compiling from ports tree on FreeBSD 12 RC3 (May also apply to the final build)

[Alan Somers]

CC the package maintainer.

As for powerpc on tier 1, I'm afraid that it's not likely to ever
happen.  Powerpc is dying.  If anybody were buying new ppc hardware,
then it would be a different story.  But I predict that powerpc is
likely to be dropped than to go Tier 1.  Sorry.

Compiling software, desktop environments, X11, using 11.1 and the now unsupported 10.4 failed when I tried those a while back (and personally I have been partial to Linux and how easily I can just get software via APT or Zypper... I would be running Debian Sid if they didn’t drop support for the eMac in terms of my internal display not working after Jessie)
