SunOS mentok 5.9 Generic_117171-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
>Description:
devel/gettext fails because of -lexpat; it claims libexpat cannot be found, when the expat package has been installed on the system (suggesting it is not being placed into the buildlink3 environment).
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to build gettext
>Fix:
Including ../../textproc/expat/buildlink3.mk in gettext's Makefile seems to resolve the problem for me (it builds).
