Sorry, I missed it. But I did get the pkgsrc/devel/patch working

$ pkginfo | grep SUNWscpu
system      SUNWscpu       Source Compatibility, (Usr)

$  ll /usr/ucb/install
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin         9404 Jan  8  2000 /usr/ucb/install

It's installed and this is what happens:

( make devel/texinfo)
$ cd /usr/pkgsr/devel/gtexinfo/work/texinfo-4.0/util  

$ ll install-info
-rwxr-xr-x   1 xxxxx    xxxxxxxxx  45504 May 28 20:46 install-info

$ ./install-info
install-info: No input file specified; try --help for more information.

$ /usr/ucb/install -c -s -o \
root -g sys -m 555  install-info /usr/pkg/bin/install-info
BFD: /usr/pkg/bin/stmFaiQJ: warning: allocated section `.interp' not in segment

$  ll /usr/pkg/bin/install-info 
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     sys    68496 May 28 20:53 /usr/pkg/bin/install-info

$ /usr/pkg/bin/install-info
install-info: Cannot find ELF`a`
Killed

So /usr/ucb/install is trashing the executable. Any ideas as to what
is wrong?

Thanks Much!
