Well, I didn't even get far enough to try that out.  I ended up getting this
error while building glib2:

=> Automatic manual page handling
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/pkgsrc/devel/glib2/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/mkdir: 
unknown option -- -'
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/pkgsrc/devel/glib2/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/usage:

*** Error code 2

I tried looking around to see if anyone else has had this problem, but all I
found was someone who ran into this problem all the way back in 2008, without
a solution.

I'm building this on a NetBSD 5.1 install in a completely clean NetBSD 5.1
chroot where I only ran ./MAKEDEV in /etc, and "make install" in 
pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install.  There are a couple of null mounts to make the
pkgsrc directory show up inside the chroot.
My pkgsrc is up-to-date as of yesterday.

Does anyone have a simple fix, before I go digging into what the problem is?
