Also, I'm looking into the problem of www/sogo, see the backtrace I just sent,
it smells like ld being the culprit. This is objective-c stuff, not havily used
throughout the ports tree outside x11/gnustep. I haven't yet tested
all the desktop goo.
I'll try this patch here to switch back to ld.bfd, and see if it makes a 
difference.
