building www/w3m, master port of japanese/w3m-img, falls into a circular dependency infinite loop. this happens only when both INLINE_IMAGE and JAPANESE options are set together; only with JAPANESE, this does not happen. I have no idea to fix this.
this does not happen after installation of www/w3m without INLINE_IMAGE once.
I've successfully built w3m with INLINE_IMAGE and JAPANESE flags both set, both on 11.0 and 10.3, with Poudriere. Seems to me that if the issue still exists, it's in portinstall/portupgrade. Does the issue still exist when installed with portinstall?
