>Description:
lang/f2c will not build under pkgsrc under Solaris.  There is a clue in work/f2c/libI77/makefile.orig:

## Under Solaris (and other systems that do not understand ld -x),
## omit -x in the ld line above.

Since this was eliminated by the patch-ae, I don't know how to kludge it.

I also notice that there is no /usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk on my system.  I don't know if that is a problem or not...
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build f2c from pkgsrc on Solaris.

===> Building for f2c-20001205nb5
Making all in libI77
cd libI77 &&  /usr/pkg/bin/bmake all
gcc -O -I/usr/pkg/include     -I/usr/pkg/include -Wcast-align -DSkip_f2c_Undefs
-c Version.c
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: illegal option -- x
