Ack! It turns out pkgsrc still contains "Netsaint". 

Anyway, here's the build error:

-----------

After a bit of research, it turns out that it was indeed a major NetBSD
kernel change from statfs to statvfs back in 2004Q2 as discussed here:

http://www.netbsd.org/Foundation/reports/2004Q2.html#statvfs

Other known tickets include:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bugs/2004/05/05/0009.html

It seems that it was a very common problem.  However, based on the above
PR, we can deduce a resolution based on
pkgsrc/sysutils/coreutils/patches*

pkgsrc/pkgsrc.txt doesn't really have mention any known work-arounds so
we'll just have to dig through the code.

Sleep now in the fire,
