As noted on 05/Sep/2003, groff pkgsrc has hard-coded "NetBSD" in mdoc.local. Send-pr: pkg/23100: custom groff/files/mdoc.local

(I closed this on 30/Apr/2004. Configured the to-be-installed mdoc.local file so the "volume-operating-system" macro is ${OPSYS}. And set the default .Os value to "pkgsrc" as suggested by wiz@. Usually the mdoc.local "volume-operating-system" definition is for the operating system name often displayed on top of man pages. And "operating-system" is for the default .Os value (operating system and version/release) and is usually displayed at bottom of man page.)

ncurses from pkgsrc is patched so some essential commands are not installed. Send-pr: pkg/23103: ncurses provide reset, tset, tput, clear (I provided patches to maintainer, jlam, in November. He was sick and didn't respond. I sent patches to tech-pkg. And received one "looks fine to me." So I committed and closed on 20/Dec/2003.)

pkgsrc/devel/bcc doesn't build under Linux. I packaged bin86 in pkgsrc-wip; it builds under Linux, but it doesn't build under NetBSD. Maybe ideas from both packages can be used to get pkgsrc/devel/bcc to build under Linux. I haven't look at this closely, since bin86 was quicker to install for me. Send-pr: pkg/23104: pkgsrc/devel/bcc doesn't build under Linux and add category

oaf also needs flex and yacc for building.
