It's not just a matter of compiling, but compilation TIME. It takes significantly longer than it would on 10.10. On the other hand, my test is done on a hardware machine, not a VM one, so I guess it's just another case of "it (doesn't) work on my machine.

Since I tend to need +universal or some other variant, I need to compile most ports instead of just getting the binaries. Also I'm not using that many ports, Gimp is the one with the biggest dependencies...
