Re: Unable to bootstrap on Interix (NT 6.1)

[David Brownlee <abs%absd.org@localhost>]

So it looks like .../bootstrap-mk-files-20230225.tgz was created
successfully, but something (pkg_install?) is erroring when it tries
to install it.

Do you have a core file? which might help to confirm which binary is crashing.

Can you successfully compile anything else with the gcc you're using
(to confirm whether its related to gcc or pkgsrc)

Are you able to get a more recent gcc - either by downloading newer
binaries, or by using the gcc 3.3 to build a newer version?
