How to avoid rebuilding binaries with linking errors?

Hi,

I sometimes upgrade ports one-by-one, particularly when "port upgrade
outdated" would start upgrading clang, qt, octave, ... while I would
like another port to get upgraded first.

The annoying thing is that "port upgrade foo" would end up with
automatically rebuilding a number of ports which could have been
fetched as binary packages instead and sometimes I actually end up in
a broken state of ports when ports are prematurely upgraded via this
way.

How can I prevent doing the automatic check for broken ports at the
end of installation process?

Thank you,
    Mojca
