>Description:
        I compile packages (using pkg_comp) for NetBSD 3.0 - that
        way they run on anything newer than that (I also sometime compile
        based upon NetBSD 2.0 for older systems).

        For this, I was using pokg_comp, libkver, and NetBSD 3.0 release
        sets.

        Compiluing misc/gnome2-utils (since the morst resent gnome updates)
        fails (on Netbsd before March/April 2006 anyway) fails, because
        older NetBSD does not have <monetary.h> (nor presumably the strfmon()
        functionit accompanies).


>How-To-Repeat:
        Use pkg_comp, install pkgtools/libkver and config pkg_comp to
        use that and NetBSD 3.0 (or 3.0.1 or whatever) sets.

        pkg_comp build misc/gnome2-utils results in ...

>Fix:
        I'd guess the best way is simply to include copies of monetary.h and
        strfmon with the package (somehow), so they can be used instead of
        the system versions when needed.

        Or, create a compat package that includes just monetary.h and
        strfmon in some new library, and depend upon that when required.

        Or, perhaps change the code back to the earlier version which
        didn't need monetary.h  (not good or easy probably).

        Or simply mark this as broken on NetBSD-3.* and antecedents
        (really not good, as there's other stuff that depends upon this one).
