 Bear in mind that this is bootstrapping to restore an erased bmake,
 not on a pkgsrc-less system.
 
 Having said this, it does look as if removing nbcompat* from
 $PKGSRC/include did the trick... someone should probably check why
 this is happening though, so that re-running bootstrap is possible if
 required.
 
 I now have a greater problem: bootstrapping has completed, and I have
 bmake installed again.  But for all of the packages which are now
 marked as "not for deletion" I can't do anything with them!  Running
 bmake with arguments "reinstall", "update", "replace", or "install"
 all results in a "ERROR: <package> is already installed - perhaps an
 older version".
 
 Will this go away as updates to each package are released?
 
 (I was trying to rebuild bmake from the installed system, in case
 there is any difference between this and the bootstrapped version)
