 Building the "hal" package now breaks at "policykit":
 
 checking for pam_start in -lpam... no
 configure: error: Could not find pam/pam-devel, please install the needed 
packages.
 *** Error code 1
 
 Stop.
 bmake: stopped in /share/src/NetBSD-current/pkgsrc/security/policykit
 
 It uses a weird linker option called "--as-needed":
 
 configure:24053: gcc -o conftest -pipe -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include 
-Wa
 ll -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith 
-Wc
 ast-align -Wsign-compare -Wformat -Wformat-security -no-cpp-precomp -isystem 
/us
 r/include -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -Wl,--as-needed -L/usr/pkg/lib 
-L/us
 r/lib conftest.c -lpam   >&5
 ld: unknown option: --as-needed
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 configure:24060: $? = 1
 
        Kind regards
