>Description:
pkgsrc/comms/mgetty+sendfax´s Makefile is patched by patch-ab to contain 
LIBS=-lutil. However, this should only be valid for some platforms such as *BSD 
and maybe Linux. On IRIX 5.3 for example that library is neither present nor 
needed.
Another issue is that the user and group are hard-coded in Makefile. 
Moreover, Makefile is patched to use install (no absolute path), which might 
lead to using a non-BSD install (as it does on IRIX 5.3). Also, do not se
Additional note: on IRIX 5.3 at least I need gcc to compile mgetty+sendfax. The 
native cc does not like the C code.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Change the patch to comment out the LIBS= line instead and explicitely pass the 
correct LIBS for each platform, if needed. Also, do not set INSTALL, just use 
the definition passed by pkgsrc.
