gtar-base and startup-notification have ISO C99 problems. I suggest 
that, instead of adding the following four-line code to each of these 
packages, ...

.include "../../mk/compiler.mk"
.if !empty(PKGSRC_COMPILER:Mmipspro)
CFLAGS+=        -c99
.endif

... the list of LANGUAGES should include c99. Then the above code could 
be abbreviated to

LANGUAGES+=     c99

I expect that more and more packages will need this code, so this really 
helps to keep the package Makefiles small.
