Ok, so far so good (wish I had a 9GB for the pkg building machine!)...

Hmm, if I link pkg_add statically, it works!  Otherwise it's failing
in the delete_plist() function.  As a quick work-around, you could do
(using csh directrory stacks) something like:

	cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install
	make
	pushd work*/pkg_install/add
	cc -static -o pkg_add *.o ../lib/libinstall.a
	popd
	make install

and then try the pkg_add again...

I'll keep looking to see if I can find out what's happening.

Simon.
