Hm, they're building fine for me here, after some fixes I did last week.
One of the problems revolves around issues in WinXP SP2 and Win2003 SP1,
which can be fixed by applying the hotfixes I recommend on the following
page:

    http://www.duh.org/interix/hotfixes.php

Because these hotfixes are now more-or-less required for proper gcc
operation on Interix, I will be putting this URL into the Interix-specific
portion of the pkgsrc Guide and README.

I plan to do a partial upload of binary packages tonight, which will take a
while to get there (mmm, really biased asymmetric DSL).  However, perl,
gettext, and libiconv will be part of the upload.
