Synth provides a better and detailed web report at `/var/log/synth/Report`,
which may be accessed with a Web Browser at `file:///var/log/synth/Report`,
then you can check the logs of skipped/failed ports easily.

Some ports may not build with synth, or even broken (though the maintainers
want to avoid this...).
