(Sorry for longish posting time to time),
Theo, thanks for response.
  I am running 1.3_RELEASE, I have tried two more after I posted,
One is manually patching with the patches in pkgsrc and the other
is using original pkgsrc installation  ( As suggested  at the mail:
| Subject: Re: Son of "compiling perl"
| From: David Brownlee <abs@netbsd.org>
| To: "T. Sean (Theo) Schulze" <tschulze@compuserve.com>
| cc: Port-mac68k <PORT-MAC68K@netbsd.org>

), and resulting no good yet.

I am afraind I am reaching the conclusion that my 1.3 installation
may have the  problem.

  By the way, I had problem guzipping pkgsrc.tar.gz

tar zxvf /pub/NetBSD/tar_files/src/pkgsrc.tar.gz
  ...(omitted)...
pkgsrc/packages/.keep_me
pkgsrc/README

and it seems to me everything is OK other than calculation of CRC.
