Is anyone else using pkgsrc on RHL 8.0?   I'm noticing the need to comment
out "USE_LIBTOOL = YES" from Makefiles in order for buildlink2 not to fail.
As a result, dynamic libs arn't being properly built.  I blew away all the RPM version of the autotools and libtool, in fact, i've blown away just about every non-essential.

...and on a small rant, how is it that RedHat has survived so long with such
a terrible packaging system? I mean, i've used a LOT of packaging systems
over the years, and I would honestly have to say I'd prefer Debian or
Solaris, even in thier extremely depricated conditions, to this piece of
crap. Anway, details:

..without commenting it out (setting it to NO is not sufficient):
