Noticed I am in change log for rxvt for 2.7.5 to 2.7.6.

Learned that you can use in pkgsrc: MESSAGE.common, MESSAGE.${OPSYS}, and MESSAGE.${OPSYS}-${MACHINE_ARCH} (where i[3-6]86 is i386).

Also rxvt has security issue. Send-pr: pkg/20899: x11/rxvt and maybe other terms have security issues. (No patch provided by me.) (Rxvt maintainer Geoff Wing sent a fix soon after. And wiz closed on same day.)

Building pkgsrc for tuxmath. It uses buildlink for SDL_mixer (and SDL_image). I did a "make update" and many packages were deinstalled and reinstalled. It was working fine until it ran out of disk space when extracting mozilla.

tuxmath failed with:

/usr/lib/crt0.o: In function `___start':
/usr/lib/crt0.o(.text+0xb8): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I used gmake instead (of NetBSD's make) and all was well.
