It appears to me the audio/sox port is broken. During configure the

Giving this a quick try on -CURRENT and with all dependencies
disabled, I don't see it. sox configures and builds fine.
If you build sox in a script(1) session and inspect the typescript
with less(1) afterwards, you should be able to see where configure
starts going wrong.
Oh, I see. The config script looks for something it calls "distro name" in
/etc/issue . I don't think this is the right way to get this information;
my understanding was that /etc/issue could be used for any pre-login message
(as motd is the post-login message). Surely uname is the right way to get
what the configure script wants. At any rate, /etc/issue contained, amoung
other things an ANSI portrait of Beastie, which does have a few odd
backticks in it. I just did not recognise it as the script rendered it all
squashed.
Well, I can fix this up to build sox (the fix is as simple as renaming the
existing /etc/issue -- sox will build if the file does not exist), but I
think the config script is sloppy and I haven't seen this on any other
ports.
