Hi, rust builds fine on 12.1 amd64 without gmake, not sure why it's listed as a build dep, any idea?
A commit references this bug: Author: tobik Date: Fri Nov 29 22:12:36 UTC 2019 New revision: 518678 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/518678 Log: lang/rust, Mk/Uses/cargo.mk: Drop gmake build dependency for backtrace-sys The backtrace-sys crate no longer needs gmake since 0.1.20. sysutils/flowgger still uses backtrace-sys-0.1.14. Since it is the only USES=cargo port left that needs it, move the gmake dependency directly to it instead. lang/rust currently has backtrace-sys-0.1.30. It also vendors jemalloc-sys (which also needs gmake to build) but it is hidden behind rustc's jemalloc feature which we do not currently activate. It should be safe to remove gmake in lang/rust too.

It seems to have been useless for a year or so. Thanks for noticing!
