the pkgadd seems to work with the one created with the option for 
diffutils below.

Didn't really help.

Yes hard links work.

I've solved all the issues but this one.  The bootstrap works for 
pax-20080110nb4 on my build system that has most packges updated from 
pkgsrc-2015Q1 to pkgsrc-2019Q4, but not all.

Trying to do a bootstrap on pkgsrc-2019Q4 with this in 
/u/build/pkgsrc-blg/mk/tools/tools.SCO_SV.mk the bootstrap 
completes but is missing a lot of the files in /usr/pkg/.

.if exists(/usr/gnu/bin/diff)
TOOLS_PLATFORM.diff?= /usr/gnu/bin/diff
.endif

Removing it I still get the error on pax-20080110nb4 doing a bootstrap with 
the above removed, so there is something really different.  Just not sure 
where to go to resolve the problem.  I don't think it has anything to do
with pax-20080110nb4.

When trying to build the missing tools from the bootstrap done with the patch.

I constantly get
ERROR: This package has set PKG_FAIL_REASON:
ERROR: Circular dependency detected

So it seems I need to get the bootstrap to work without the patch.

Any more ideas?
