TL,DR: Something weird is happening: the WXNEEDED is being stripped from R's binary when creating the package.
Long version: I need math/R to be compiled with WXNEEDED, so I add USE_WXNEEDED=Yes to the Makefile, and roll my own package, which I then install. This has been working fine for some time now. I did this again, after Rafael Sadowski updated the port, but this time it failed. The R binary is built with the WXNEEDED flag on: $ make ... $ objdump -x /usr/ports/pobj/R-4.2.3/build-amd64/bin/exec/R ...

This is on amd64 -current (Sep 3), and a fresh ports tree, synced today (Sep 6) from CVS. Any clues as to what might be going on? Thanks in advance Zé --
