Some (small) problems

[Cág <ca6c%bitmessage.ch@localhost>]

Hi,

I recently updated my test amd64 machine to 8.99.25.

A quick summary:
1. As you might remember the "trimming the distribution" thread, I 
followed my
own solution to that: removing unnecessary components from Makefiles' 
SUBDIR,
when there are no such options in mk.conf -- eg. MKGCC=no.
As a result I needed to manually package sets because of plist checks -- 
not
a big deal, and in my case, it maybe is a preferred way to package them. 
I had
to use the installer image to unpack them.

2. Clang/LLVM/libc++ are now used instead of GCC/libstdc++, and Clang is 
linked
to /usr/bin/cc.

3. Everything is linked statically, with some exceptions: notably Clang. 
At first
it failed with Kerberos and PAM (more about PAM later), but then I got 
rid of them,
and programs depending on them could finally be linked statically as 
well.

Now, the problems themselves:
1. su(1) doesn't work. When I type my password *correctly*, it says 
"Sorry". When
using PAM version, it (and the PAM version of login(1)) says "pam_start 
failed".

2. Some locale-related problems. NLS is enabled, LANG is set to 
en_US.UTF-8, but
statically linked tmux complains about it (dynamically-linked one works 
though),
and when I type multibyte characters on getty(8) with us.metaesc as the 
keyboard
layout, escape characters are shown instead. ls(1) replaces multibyte 
characters
with "?", as if the C locale is used. noice, the file browser, displays 
them normally.

3. I lost my .shrc, and now I can't get my PS1 to work. I think I used 
to use this:
--
PS1='[$( pwd | sed "s,^$HOME,~," )]; '    # which is [~]; when at home
--
but now it doesn't work.

There are some problems with pkgsrc as well, which I'll describe in a 
separate thread.

Any help with solving the issues would be highly appreciated.

I also would like to know if anyone is using static builds as well. I 
was kinda
surprised that pretty much everything in the base can be linked 
statically.

Thanks in advance for reading this and helping. If any specific details 
are needed,
let me know.
