>Description:
        devel/p5-Date-Manip generates its Makefile from a perl script.
        Like many generated Makefile (or Makefile pieces) this tends to
        create very long lines (logical lines, continued with \ as usual).

        The generated Makefile here has 5 of them, 3 of which end up being
        more than 64KB long (one of those is almost 128KB) on my system.

        That's enough to trigger the NetBSD 4 make bug related to handling
        long Makefile lines.

>How-To-Repeat:
        I use pkg_comp with NetBSD 4.0 release sets installed (and libkver,
        but that's not important here).   (Nor is it important that I use
        pkgsrc modular xorg instead of the x* sets, but that is true.)

        In that environment, building (well, attempting to build)
        devel/p5-Date-Manip results in ...

Writing Makefile for Date::Manip
===> Building for p5-Date-Manip-6.05
[1]   Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/bin/env USE...
*** Error code 139

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/devel/p5-Date-Manip
*** Error code 1

        The core dump is from make.

>Fix:
        First, handle PR pkg/42704 - then, depending upon how that
        ends up being done, perhaps add

                USE_TOOLS+=  bmake

        to pkgsrc/devel/p5-Date-Manip/Makefile (perhaps conditional
        on the OS being NetBSD 4).   (Using gmake should also solve
        the problem if 42704 isn't handled in a timely manner.)

        I have verified that using bmake allows this package to build
        correctly on NetBSD 4.0.
