On a macOS 10.13 machine with a pkgsrc bootstrap from long ago, with everything updated and pkg_rr'd, I have for a long time had failures to build a few things that use gobject-introspection. The syndrome is that they build when the old version is not installed, but fail in various inscrutable ways when it is, sometimes a symbol error, sometimes a core dump. So it seems that something is leaking into the build environment from the installed package, and it seems this is only on macOS. bulk build should avoid this, and I can, so it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to fix (perhaps even after freeze as a fix seems likely to be non-trivial). Clues welcome.
