I have considered changing the order of how portmaster does things from:

build
backup package (unless -B)
deinstall
install

to:
backup package
deinstall
build
install

That is undoubtedly more dangerous, and would require the "automated
backout" feature that I have yet to write, but it would solve a lot of
these problems.

I recall very few cases where this change would have helped me; one was the recent GD2 update (arguably that would be a bug of the individual port - often an upstream bug - that picked up an old /usr/local library version during the build), and a minor one was an earlier e2fsprogs-libuuid issue (which was in fact just exposing genuine upstream bugs that impaired portability); it also impairs system functionality during the whole build phase.
