 m4 uses git during the destroot phase, but doesn't declare a dependency on
 git:

 {{{

 DEBUG: Environment: MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET='10.5'

 }}}

 git crashes, then the install succeeds. (My git is crashing for an
 unrelated reason. I have forcibly uninstalled many ports, including one of
 git's dependencies, and am in the process of reinstalling them.)

 Does m4 really need to use git during destroot?
