Hi,
It solves a number of problems, but mostly it boils down to not all build
systems or projects supporting the standard rules we use in macports for
passing flags erc. to the underlying compilers. Legacy support PG for instance
requires this to function and a number of ports, or a bunch of

portgroups, eventually ending up with a new compiler_wrapper portgroup
which is now included by several others.
Chris, for those who have not kept up with all the changes, would you be
able to explain what problems all this is

If you aren’t already, I strongly recommend using a direct git clone of the
ports tree
