>Description:
I tried to bootstrap pkgsrc-2008Q1 on an powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0 and it fails 
compiling/testing bmake.

Because in former project we had problems with changing target locations (e.g. 
build into ~/project/bin and ~/project/lib and distribute it into
/opt/project/...), we decided to build our required pkgsrc packages in a 
chroot, create an rpm from /opt/pkgsrc/ there and distribute it anywhere into 
/opt/pkgsrc.

Now I chroot /opt/myroot/ and cd /opt/room/pkgsrc/bootstrap. Than I typed 
./bootstrap and let it run. After a few minutes, the unit-test of bmake 
"freezes". I breaked it after a few hours and took a look into the makefiles 
there, removed the '@' and see, that the dotwait test fails after the simple 
test. Output at the end was:
simple.1
simple.1
simple.2
simple.2

And that's all - nothing more.

On the machine is an Visual Age C Compiler installed (but not used) and a 
gcc-4.2.0 (but the gcc3 we tried before had the same behaviour).

Boostrap pkgsrc-2008Q1

Probably same as

on Solaris and IRIX.
