Tried gcc 3 (under Linux) to build pkg_install, but still failed with:
incompatible type for argument 1 of `wait'

jschauma provided fixes for pkg_install -- and all of bootstrap-pkgsrc built successfully for me under: Linux 2.2.13, gcc3-3.2.1, and glibc-2.2.5.

bootstrap-pkgsrc registers a package for digest. It would be good if it would also register packages for pkg_install, mtree, pax, ftp (lukemftp), bmake and .mk files. (A pkgsrc for security/mtree should be made too. I may do this soon.)

Also noticed that pax is at pkgtools/pax and not archivers/pax. And that the bootstrap-pkgsrc installed a hardlink for cpio to pax.

I patched pkgsrc/archivers/gcpio with various patches to get it to build (under Linux) and install with a customizable GNU_PROGRAM_PREFIX.
