 > > This is because binutils and gdb are both built from source trees that
 are so similar that they are basically the same. The upstream repository
 actually combines their names and is just called "binutils-gdb". I have
 local copies of the binutils and gdb Portfiles in my own local Portfile
 repo that I had to modify heavily to keep them from conflicting, but I
 think a better approach for trunk would be to combine them into a single
 port, or to make one a sub-port of the other.

 Given that neither of these have happened in the last 7 years, I'm
 thinking it might be easier just to mark the conflict for now...
 Also, for reference, here are links to my copies of the binutils and gdb
 Portfiles, if anyone wants to pick up my changes; they have TODOs and
 FIXMEs left to do in them, though:
