Quite a few, which is why the total number of packages built is << total
number of packages available. ;-)

The results of my bulk builds are sent to the pkgsrc-bulk mailinglist,
so you can find the actual breakage listed online from the links in
those postings.  (Note: I only keep around the last two bulklogs.)

Ah, yes, I remember this one.  According to my notes
(http://www.netbsd.org/~jschauma/) I was able to work around this
(admittedly hackishly) by copying the stdarg.h and
internal/stdarg_core.h from a 6.5.23 system into place.  :-/

All the other issues you mention should best be submitted as problem
reports, especially if you have workarounds or solutions and patches!

I try to remember to merge in my patches...
