Fresh install of 4.8, all sets installed, from install48.iso plus the ports.tar.gz from ftp site. At first I thought this was a problem with a specific port, but alas my testing is showing that no ports will work. I'm not new to working with ports, but I have not come across this error before.
I tried using 4.8-stable (kernel, userland, and ports) but that gave me the same problem. I can build kernel and userland without a problem. There are zero packages installed on the system. I've read the FAQ regarding ports and I think I have done everything required. I'm running as root so perms should not be an issue. The error indicates to me something with GNUmake but that does not make sense either as GNU make is not installed. I tried to reduce this to as basic a system as possible to eliminate as many variables as possible.
