>Description:
        Build of devel/hdf (hdf-4.2r4) fails with an undefined reference
        to MAIN__ from libf2c.so.0 (from libf2c-20090201nb2)
        It has been that way for a couple of weeks now.

>How-To-Repeat:
        I use pkg_comp with libkver and NetBSD 4.0 sets installed
        (X11_TYPE=modular)   I doubt any of that is relevant.

Stop.

>Fix:
        I recall discussion about removing the MAIN__ symbol/requirement,
        it looks as if something hasn't quite been completed
