I am trying to build XFree86-clients under FreeBSD with
gcc (GCC) 3.3.3 [FreeBSD] 20031106

When building xc/programs/xdm/resource.c it fails with:

  <command line>:37:17: missing terminating " character

Since it says "command line" and since I can't find the bad gcc 3 use of
quotes wrapping to new line, I assume this is caused by something to do
with the quoting added to the command that pkgsrc runs.

.work.log ends with:

I have built this over ten times with gcc 3.x versions under Linux.

Any ideas?
