Do you think you could provide copies of ${WRKSRC}/lib/Config.pm from
both builds on your NetBSD/alpha box?  Configuring with configure.gnu
is clearly using different compilation flags than the ones specified
by pkgsrc, and we need to see which flags in particular are causing
the failure in the pkgsrc case.
