Alright, I don't know why for sure, but when installing gtexinfo,
buildlink2's shell-wrapper for cc (gtexinfo/work/.buildlink/bin/cc) does
not seem to quote everything correctly: -DLOCALEDIR=\"lib\" becomes
-DLOCALEDIR=\lib\, and ultimately the compilation fails.  Adding an
additional '\' to
'/usr/pkgsrc/devel/gtexinfo/work/.buildlink/bin/.logic-trans' manually
after the error occurs fixes the problem and gtexinfo installs fine.

The weird thing is, that this problem does not occur anywhere else (so
far), so I suspect that my analysis is flawed.  If anybody wants to take
a look at that, I'd appreciate it.

But, on the bright side, otherwise pkgsrc on IRIX seems to work quite
ok, I've started to add packages:

# pkg_info
libtool-base-1.4.20010614nb9 Generic shared library support script (the
script itself)
gtexinfo-4.2        GNU info file manipulation utilities
digest-20020726     Message digest wrapper utility
gettext-lib-0.10.35nb1 tools for providing messages in different
languages, libintl only
gzip-base-1.2.4a    Compress or expand files
cvs-1.11nb2         Concurrent Versions System
perl-5.6.1nb7       Practical Extraction and Report Language
# uname -a
IRIX64 tsingtao 6.5 11051732 IP30 mips
# 

I'd like to commit the bootstrap-pkgsrc changes possibly this weekend
(Sunday) if nobody has any objections or improvements (the above problem
are not related to the bootstrapping).  Would that be ok?
