Maybe your libtool/pkglibtool or your pkgsrc tree is too old. You
should'nt get these messages. I've managed to compile the gimp package a
few weeks/months ago, but it's unusable on my machine: It kills the old
and buggy xarm33 after a few simple operations. :-(

Sorry - I don't even know what mico is.

Hmmm. At least python 1.5.1 is in the pkgsrc tree for ages now, I don't
remember if I had any problems installing it on my arm32-box. There are
quite a few python related packages as well... (those beginning whith
py-).

IIRC there used to be an egcs package.
BTW: egcs 1.1release is in the current source tree.
