It would be nice if we could put that code back into make, but have
it disabled. There are several people that use custom old trees that are
hitting this when they build on newer systems… While /usr/ports is ready,
forks of it might not be.  I’m cool with having it be turned off by default,
but it sure would be convenient to be able to flip it back on… Anybody
object if I do this?
