So all the other ports have been checked/fixed? The reason I removed distrib
was on macppc...It was trying to make includes in here which makes zero sense
overall. 

That's the point. As it currently stands it breaks ports from building (or even
getting started if it breaks in includes). Until those have all been checked
it should be removed/null'd out from descending.
