 Odd.  Since you claim to have removed all packages, the compiler from
 -current should have produced packages which don't suffer segfaults in
 "gobject-introspection" components.  I've not tried this workaround
 myself, however.  (I instead have been keeping local patches for netbsd-8
 that implement the changes in the commit message for -current and build
 my own releases of i386-8.0_BETA.)
 
 The main trigger for the problem is "sysutils/gvfs".  If you forcibly
 remove it there should be no further problems.  Then go back and rebuild
 "sysutils/xfce-thunar".
 
 Or set PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=-gvfs to avoid it entirely.

 As long as you don't need any special options, prebuilt packages should
 be OK.  It's only building them in a non-bulk-build environment that's
 having trouble.
