Yes, that's a typo. :-/

I think the grep thing is due to Solaris's grep being deficient and
me wanting to suppress harmless error messages while doing steps
5a-e below. (I'm afraid I didn't make a note of the error message
though.) I think what I'll do next time is set
GREP=/usr/sfw/bin/ggrep in mk.conf and unset it after gcc and
/usr/pkg/bin/grep are built. Or I suppose I can just ignore the
error messages.

Re egrep: While the system was doing a bunch of builds, one of them
tried to use /usr/bin/egrep and found it deficient (which it
probably is) and died. It should be using /usr/pkg/bin/egrep.I
think this is pilot error. I'll revisit it.

Yes, absolutely. But I couldn't get that to work. So because it was
Saturday and I didn't want to bother Gavan, I searched the list
archives and googled the web for a solution. What I found was two
people who had discovered a work-around (the only workaround
AFAICT), and one of them described how to do it in nice detail. So
I decided go with their advice.

Having said that however -- I hear there's good news! The error
messages I was getting had to do with va_end already being defined,
and I heard from Gavan that that bug was *just* fixed. :-) :-)

I'll give it whirl and let you know.

Thanks!
