>Description:
While trying to get pkgsrc (cvs update'd some minutes ago) up an a new Sun Sparc Solaris 9 machine, I got some packages compiled, some not, failing in mysterious ways, but always something like:
checking build system type... -sun-solaris2.9
checking host system type... -sun-solaris2.9
could be found in the configure output.
I finally traced this down to bootstrap/bmake/machine.sh not beeing executable resulting in MACHINE_ARCH not beeing defined in bmake.

>How-To-Repeat:
Check out pkgsrc on a Solaris machine, cd to pkgsrc/bootstap, 
type ./bootstrap <parameters> and watch the output carefully
for "...machine.sh...cannot execute" or some such.

>Fix:
chmod +x pkgsrc/bootstap/bmake/machine.sh
