>Description:
        First, I am building using pkg_comp with libkver and
        NetNSD 3.0 (RELEASE) sets installed.

        Building sysutils/apcupsd fails at the configure stage,
        complaining that the C compiler cannot create executables

>How-To-Repeat:
        pkg_comp build sysutils/apcupsd

                I doubt that pkg_comp is related to this problem, but
                the use of an uppatched/uupdated NetBSD 3.0 system
                as the (apparent) base system might be (in particular,
                it has gcc 3.3.3)

        What I see is ...

        Checking the (relevant part of) config.log, I see ...

configure:2505: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

        The "failed program" contents don't seem to be relevant (it was
        about as close to the canonical empty C program as it is possible
        to write with current rules for what C programs must contain...)

        I suspect that the problem is as suggested by the WARNING
        and that there simply is no available C compiler in the
        build envronment (there is certainly no cc nor gcc nor netbsd-elf-gcc
        noe anything else that might plausibly be a C compiled in the
        .tools directory).


>Fix:

Add
        USE_LANGUAGES+=c
as the error messages says (warning).   While that might possibly not
seem to be required for apcupsd itself (a USE_LANGUAGES+=c++ line exists
alreay) it does seem necessary to get past the configure stage.

In any case, with this one line addition, the package builds fine.
