Re: kern/51549 (Changes in NetBSD 7 kernel break all apps in PKGSRC using Network Statistics)

I compiled the reported apps from source using pkgsrc current, pkgsrc 2016Q3 and also older versions of pkgsrc.
By the way libgtop and xosview are standard apps and nobody can change them as this, they are too complex.
But they are working OK in versions prior to NetBSD 7 !!
By example they work ok in NetBSD 6.1, 6.0, 5.2, 5.1, 5.0, 4.x
