>Description:
when compiling freetype2 when pkgsrc on irix
compile breaks libfreetype.so.9.3 with the following message

ld32: ERROR 48: Cannot access registry file .libs/so_locations (no such file or directoy) - ignored.
ld32: FATAL 51: CAn't assign virtual addresses for libfreetype.so.9 of size 20000 within specified range. Please check your registry file .libs/so_locations.
collect2: ld returned 4 exit status

tracking the problems down, the solution found is really trivial
the process (seems) build everything from work/freetype2 and within
that dir no .libs exists. (it does in work/freetype2/objs where libfreetype.so.9 is placed)

so creating a .libs directory in work/freetype2 solves the problem
and the package compiles happely.

i guess this is a Irix (maybe solaris too ?) problem since their linker (ld) uses so_locations files.

>How-To-Repeat:
bmake clean; bmake install
>Fix:
create a .libs directory in work/freetype2

(so ld/gcc can place the so_locations file there)
