I can start to build few . Is there any « common » way to run a « bulk » of specified ports ?

While building i saw a 2.8 compatibility flag ,so with some luck the work might stay limited

i think that's the best way to proceed , we can then switch ports step by step

there's no hurry , this update occurs into an attempt to update KiCad port to 4.0.7.
by the way i encountered a problem with boost , because boost_context is volountary locked due to a MD bit story
and KiCad requires it , i don't know how to handle the thing.

thank you for your future reviews :)
