Eeek, this looks wrong. Why did you need to disable the checksums for
the downloaded distfiles? Skipping the checksums should never be needed,
as it allows upstream distfile repositories to send you modified files.

This looks fine, but to get a consistent collection of packages, you
need to rebuild all packages after making such a wide-ranging change.

Yes, it can, as the dependencies of some packages will change.

Yes. If you are curious about the actual changes, you can make a backup
of your existing binary packages, then rebuild the packages and compare
them. In the +BUILD_INFO files, I expect changes in the dependency lines.
