Yes, I did wipe out the obj and tools directories.

Last failure was on gmp, which later built successfully as a dependency from 
pkgsrc.

I was stopped on lang/gcc-aux but succeeded with lang/gcc48.

gnatgcc: error: /usr/pkg/lib/libiconv.a: no such file or directory

libiconv was not listed as a dependency for gcc-aux.

I found converters/libiconv with lib/libiconv.la in the PLIST, not quite the 
same as libiconv.a .

I guess I need to mention this on pkgsrc-users%netbsd.org@localhost .

Now, how to tell the build system to use this gcc48 in place of base gcc?

I think I would have to set HOST_CC and HOST_CXX.  Command line or /etc/mk.conf?

I now have gmp-5.1.3, gmp 3.1.2 and mpcomplex-1.0.1 from pkgsrc, how do I tell 
the system build not to build these redundantly?

I guess math/mpcomplex is called mpcomplex instead of mpc to avoid conflict 
with audio/mpc.

I guess if the base gcc could build mail/mpop, mail/msmtp, www/lynx, 
www/links-gui and lang/gcc48, it was not trashed.

Maybe there is libiconv.a in converters/libiconv?

pkg info -l libiconv shows

libiconv-1.14_1:

but that is on my FreeBSD installation, from FreeBSD ports.
