I fixed this issue with the glibc 2.8 patch I found with some Googling, 
so this error does not come up anymore.

New problem:

I try to bootstrap again, and I'm still not getting everything working.

Under Fedora 9, bmake builds as it should, but then, it switches gears, 
showing this:

=> Configuring and building libnbcompat
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
checking build system type...

And just sits there as if it went off into Lala Land with the load 
accordingly pegged since gcc is still in the R state.

Under Ubuntu Intrepid Ibis, I get:

gcc -O2 -D_PATH_DEFSYSPATH=\"/usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/share/mk\" -I. 
-I/usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I../../libnbcompat 
-I/usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake/missing -DNEED_HOST_CDEFS_H 
-DMAKE_NATIVE  -DSIGNAL_FLAGS=SA_RESTART  -Werror   -I../../libnbcompat 
-c /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake/arch.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
/usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake/arch.c: In function Arch_Touch:
/usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake/arch.c:1036: error: ignoring return 
value of fwrite, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

I somehow suspect the latter might be a distribution setting, but then, 
I dunno.  I wouldn't know about the former (I don't use Fedora for any 
use other than the need to test something to confirm whether something 
isn't a distro problem).

Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks.
