 Oops. I probably missed something. The real problem is that
 libpng12.so (graphics/png package) is broken, but png package is built
 "sucessfully", i.e. files are created and installed.  But the problem
 is seen only when some executable is linked with this broken library
 (pnmtopng executable from graphics/netpbm package).  So, the patch I
 sent is for graphics/png package.
