I experienced some annoying (not to say more...) problems with some
packages on my i386/1.6K : ptl, qt3-libs, php4 and some others refuse
to build, for example.

I don't think it's bugs with these packages but, rather, there's some
mess on my system... To restart on a clean basis, i've nuked all my
pkgsrc tree, then cvs it again. I've also rebuilt libtool but these
problems still remains.

Examples:

=-=-=-=-=-=
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/ptl2
# make
[...]
cc `./ccarg.sh` -g -O3
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ptl2/work.i386/PTL-2.1.9/Util/stk-grow-dir.c -o
stk-grow-dir
-L/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ptl2/work.i386/PTL-2.1.9/libaltsys/A.i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.6K 
-laltsys `cat
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ptl2/work.i386/PTL-2.1.9/libaltsys/A.i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.6K/linker_opt`
In file included from
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ptl2/work.i386/PTL-2.1.9/Util/stk-grow-dir.c:24:
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ptl2/work.i386/PTL-2.1.9/src/ansi.h:82: #error
Neither <syscall.h> nor <sys/syscall.h> found.

But i do have syscall.h on my box ! (this problem was still there with
previous version of this package...)

But :

# find . -name php_smart_str.h
./work.i386/php-4.2.3/ext/standard/php_smart_str.h

furthermore, if i go in work.i386/php-4.2.3 and do myself 'make',
that's OK.

gmake[1]: *** [qglobal.o] Error 1

But there is qplatformdefs.h files...

[etc.]

I've no problem with some other packages (i've just built
enlightenment-0.16.4, for example...).

So, what could be the problem ? What should i do to correct this ? 
(i must admit i'm gonna be crazy with it...).
