Calling libtool to build testgtkhtml.  It generate this enormous link

      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
      This looks odd to me. I don't understand why testgtkhtml wants an
rpath to a temporary directory.  But it might be OK; I know nothing about
this particular package.

The message says: in trying to create testgtkhtml, I linked in
libgtkhtml-3.1.so, which refers to a symbol '_' that is not exported by
anything else in the link list.  

That's very suspicious: what sort of symbol is '_'?  I would guess
something went wrong making libgtkhtml-3.1.so.

The first step is "cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/gtkhtml3; make clean; make".  Beyond
that I don't know what to tell you, except that I think libgtkhtml-3.1.so
has a problem.  If it fails a second time, maybe someone in tech-pkg will
be able to help.  

HTH.
