Hi, Greg.

Yes, I can just carry the patch.  There were other packages failing to
build that I hadn't reported yet, I knew the Homebrew people did bulk
builds on a VM, not in a chroot, I had heard of some packages requiring
a full Xcode to build, I was starting to feel like maybe I was too far
away from a "normal" setup with this whole "pbulk with chroot on OS X"
thing since it felt like no one else was doing this on OS X Yosemite,
and I was feeling like I couldn't justify spending more of my time
fighting with this thing to get it to work.  But now, having done a
"cvs update -dP" on my 2015Q2 tree and having dropped the DEVELOPER_DIR
environment variable, instead using "xcode-select --switch" to set the
developer directory to Command Line Tools (not Xcode.app) for the whole
system, the other build failures have gone away.  Now, of the subset of
packages I build, I'm left with just devel/gmp that fails, and yes, with
the patch, it succeeds.  So, I'll carry the patch for now.  But I still
really hope someone can figure this out!

(Dear pbulk, sorry I ever thought to leave you, baby.)

Lewis
