RUN_DEPENDS=${BUILD_DEPENDS}

This idiom

    BUILD_DEPENDS= ...
    RUN_DEPENDS= ${BUILD_DEPENDS} is dangerous.

USE_GMAKE=Yes adds a build dependency on gmake. Using a .bz2 distfiles adds a build dependency on bzip2. Etc.

With the assignment above, these build dependencies will be added as run dependencies. Oops.

If you want to avoid specifying duplicate lists, the reverse assignment

    BUILD_DEPENDS= ${RUN_DEPENDS}
    RUN_DEPENDS= ... is much safer.
