 Replying to [comment:2 kencu]:
 > Could this have anything to do with some modifications you may have made
 on your system? I will check my 10.9 VM and see what it shows there.

 Not impossible; it surprised me that this wouldn't have been caught
 before. But I don't see which and my analysis seems sound.

 What do you see when you do

 {{{
 ls -l `port work legacy-support`
 }}}

 I see

 {{{

 with my patch. Without, the arch-specific source dir copies (and build
 dirs) are symlinks too, and invoking make in them will evidently just give
 a message that nothing needs to be done. Or, alternatively, it would
 overwrite the existing build products.

 FWIW, initially I did think this was my own doing because I vaguely
 recalled having tried to use symlinks in the muniversal PG, which could
 save a lot of disk space - but I clearly abandoned that change. Currently
 my muniversal PG only has a few unrelated tweaks and I use the stock
 github PG.
