bootstrapping pkgsrc-2008Q1 on MacOS X 10.4.11 (PPC) (others?) fails

Stop.

Since this is the bootstrap operation, NOTHING has been installed,
so the suggested remedy in the error messages will never work.
>How-To-Repeat:
On clean MacOS X 10.4.11 (PPC) system, or using alternate ${PREFIX},
update pkgsrc to pkgsrc-2008Q1.

Attempt to bootstrap pkgsrc-2008Q1.
