Do you have /usr/lib/libgcc.a? It is wierd that pkgtools would even
look for that; pkg_add in -current doesn't. 

BTW, the whole idea of a "pkg_install" package, is to let you use the
-current pkgsrc with a non-current distribution. The latest
pkg_install is pkg_install-19981107, so try downloading/supping the
-current pkgsrc to see how that works.
