>Description:
chat/ircservices mis-detects compiler version on NetBSD-6.0 and -current.
It claims:

[...]
===> Configuring for ircservices-5.0.64

Beginning IRC Services configuration.

Executable (program) file will be installed in /usr/pkg/sbin
Data files will be installed in /usr/pkg/lib/services
Checking sanity of /bin/sh... high.
Searching for a suitable compiler... 
WARNING: Your version of GCC was detected as `2'.  As of Services
         5.0.23, versions of GCC earlier than 3.2, other than 2.95.3,
         have been deprecated.  This and future releases of Services 5.0
         will still work, though some error messages will lose
         information; future versions of Services may not compile at
         all.  Please upgrade your compiler to GCC 3.2 or later.

Press Enter to continue: 
[...]

This happens because the version-string mangling done for the import
of GCC 4.5.3 is different from previous versions and the simple 'sed'
regex the configure script uses gets an unintended result.  E.g., on
the problem system:

>How-To-Repeat:
On a NetBSD-6.0_BETA or -current system, any architecture, build
chat/ircservices.
>Fix:
Workaround for NetBSD systems (probably not needed for others):

make patch
