The -overwrite-base option was only functional on FreeBSD 4.x With FreeBSD 5.x the libs are spread in /lib and /usr/lib, so even if the ports overwrite base libs, some tools still use the old (unpatched) libs from /lib.
Couldn't this be addressed simply by removing the old libs, possibly replacing with symlinks, in coordination with the standard/base? We shouldn't need to worry about base applications linked to the old libs anyhow, unless a base app is making unreasonable expectations. Better to fix those bugs in base, IMO, than have multiple versions of key libraries.
