 The hack above does indeed work, which I expected.  The configure script 
 mostly finishes, but I am getting an error towards the end related to a 
 missing aclocal script:
 
 config.status: executing mkdirs commands
 CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/ksh 
 /usr/pkg/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/libarchive/build/autoconf/missing 
 aclocal-1.15 -I build/autoconf
 /usr/pkg/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/libarchive/build/autoconf/missing[81]: 
 aclocal-1.15:  not found
 WARNING: 'aclocal-1.15' is missing on your system.
           You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
           'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
           The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
           <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
           It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
           <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
           <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
           <http://www.perl.org/>
 *** [./aclocal.m4] Error code 127
 
 bmake: stopped in /usr/pkg/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/libarchive
 1 error
 
 bmake: stopped in /usr/pkg/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/libarchive
 ===> exited with status 2
 aborted.
 
 Regardless, the patch does fix the problem surrounding the warning flags. 
 Upstream libarchive fixes have stalled a bit, I think, since there was an 
 autoconf bug in a fix that should actually work.
