While building 2004Q1 under Solaris, I came across the '.libs-L' problem
(under the subject 'trouble with gtk2 on Solaris' back on tech-pkg on
2004/03/22). I used Manuel Bouyer's patch posted 3/22/2004 with great
success... Thanks y'all!

Now, while building metapkgs/gnome, I ran into trouble with
sysutils/gnome-vfs2 - it seems that it's buildlink3 required
audio/cdparanoia, even tho cdparanoia won't build under Solaris. To fix
this for sysutils/gnome-vfs2 and others that depend upon cdparanoia, I
added this fix:

*** audio/cdparanoia/buildlink3.mk.ORIG 2004-03-05 14:25:06.000001000 -0500
--- audio/cdparanoia/buildlink3.mk      2004-06-03 12:50:43.000002000 -0400

  BUILDLINK_DEPTH:=             ${BUILDLINK_DEPTH}+

  .endif        # CDPARANOIA_BUILDLINK3_MK
   
  BUILDLINK_DEPTH:=     ${BUILDLINK_DEPTH:S/+$//}
+ .endif

I hope it helps someone... Thanks again for such a great system!
