>Description:
Following is the bmake output, it stops with a prompt for input. I suspect 
that's just an after-effect of the tar files failing just above, which I'm 
guessing is caused by the wrong tar program being used.

File to patch:

>How-To-Repeat:
bmake -C lang/gcc44
>Fix:
Use the netbsd tar program somehow, but it's already on the front of my PATH -- 
is there some make macro for it?
