Thanks, Marco.
The TStatfs structure needed updating but it wasn't the cause of my
issues.

In case people are interested, I pushed my patches publicly:
https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DeltaPorts/commit/117fa674817cc090a11b058d2f7bbf8e96b2e286

Don't worry about the patches to the generated makefiles.  I had to do
that based on the ports build order.  I know those will get regenerated
when they get incorporated into the dev branch.

The patch that defines OLDBINUTILS to avoid assembly is not a permanent
patch (Dragonfly has binutils 2.24 in base, not an issue).

I'll check out your hints!
