ISTR seeing stuff from current pkgsrc on NetBSD 8.1/VAX (running on a
MicroVAX 3900/SIMH) where gcc died with internal errors even with
optimizations disabled (-O0), this was IIRC perl and python, among other
things. I also found a few ports that don't play well with mk.conf when
it comes to gcc flags, e.g. gcc being invoked with "gcc -O2 -O0 ...".

I can spinup my NetBSD 8.1 simulated VAX do a rebuild of the ports in
question for logs if there is interest.

Kind regards,
           Alex.
