 I'm confused by this one... at first pango had the same problem, but
 then this fixed itself.  Now it is gtk2 which reports:
 
 ===> wrapper-message [gtk2+-2.8.11nb1] ===> Creating toolchain wrappers
 for gtk2+-2.8.11nb1
 ===> configure-message [gtk2+-2.8.11nb1] ===> Configuring for gtk2
 +-2.8.11nb1
 => "Fixing pthread flags."
 => Fixing locale directory references.

 I think that this is actually related to ksh (perhaps?).
 
 The IRIX default ksh seems to be limited in the number of characters
 that a variable can contain, which also affects pkg_chk (pkg/32834) and
 probably other things too.
 
 Also, the ast-ksh package doesn't seem to want to build either
 (pkg/32833).
 
 Any ideas?
