I am not sure.
We need to figure out what is making pkgsrc think that converters/libiconv
is a dependency under Linux. And fix it.
To me it doesn't make sense to bring in package libiconv or pkgsrc
gettext-lib under Linux when these are already provided on a Linux box (in
glibc).
As for bulk builds, within past couple days a bulk build report for Linux
was sent to the pkgsrc bulk build mailing list. Maybe we can look at it.
I'll try to look at this within a few days.
