alternatively, and imho better, would have been to pass
--disable-xindy-rules to xindy's configure during texlive build.
texlive builders just pass the generated binaries to the master tree,
and all secondary files generated during the build are discarded anyway.

btw, is "recode" package really buggy on FreeBSD?
i.e. --with-xindy-recode doesn'y allow to fully rebuild xindy?

Best,
