Comment (by wsiegrist at apple.com):

 The problem with lint at least seems to be the need to write to the state
 file which is in the build area and requires root privileges to write to.
 These sort of operations dont affect the state of the port so the file
 shouldnt be written to, IMO.  Sorry if this is already obvious to the devs
 but I wanted to comment here since I ran into the issue and my ticket was
 marked a dup of this one.
