I am trying to compile gimp on -current right now and x11/babl and
graphics/gegl both have this problem. Take a look at
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-8-failure.html for more
examples (click on the link on the right under Package to see the
logs). There are currently over 600 broken ports in -current, all the
ones I clicked on in a completely bogus sample had this same problem.
