IIRC, there was no general issue with building ports, though a few may have
needed a fix. It was that packages built after the change were not
available and older binaries would not work. I believe that the issue went
away as soon as a new package build was completed. This took longer than
usual as ALL packages had to be re-built, not just those which had been
updated since the last build.
