My understanding is that the trouble is related to the change to 64-bit inodes on FreeBSD HEAD. lang/gcc5-aux and gcc6-aux won't build. How are users supposed to know if and when this is fixed? I looked in Makefile for ports-mgmt/synth and lang/gcc6-aux and gcc5-aux, and there was no indication of anything amiss. There ought to be a BROKEN notice in the Makefile to save users from the exercise in frustration. For now, I am not doing anything on FreeBSD HEAD; updating 11.1-PRERELEASE (stable branch) instead.
