I have FreeBSD 7.2 on my server. Trying to install some archiver, I upgraded all ports with commands portsnap fetch, portsnap extract.
And now when I try to compile any program with make, I get a lot of errors:

I need just to downgrade all ports to previous version.
I've found solution here - FREEBSD: make install Unknown modifier 'u' Variable ALL_OPTIONS is recursive
Just replaced /usr/ports/Mk/* with original files, downloaded from ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/amd64/your version of FreeBSD/
As far as I understood Roland Smith had suggested same thing.
