I figured out the cause of this error.  The pkgsrc wrapper scripts 
are getting confused by /tmp being a symbolic link (on MacOSX /tmp 
points to /private/tmp).

In particular, the clang wrapper is getting called with:

	-I/private/tmp/ptest/include/glib/glib-2.0 

instead of 

	-I/tmp/ptest/include/glib/glib-2.0 

and it strips out the -I causing the error above.


If I change the bootstrap from this:

 	./bootstrap --abi 64 --prefix /tmp/ptest \
 		--pkgdbdir /tmp/ptest/var/db/pkg --compiler clang 

to this to avoid the /tmp symlink:

 	./bootstrap --abi 64 --prefix /private/tmp/ptest \
 		--pkgdbdir /private/tmp/ptest/var/db/pkg --compiler clang 


then the error goes away.


I tried replicating this error on my NetBSD/i386 box, but it did not 
fail.
