pkgsrc bootstrap & build failures on Mac OS X Leopard

[John Klos <john%klos.com@localhost>]

Hi,

On Mac OS X Leopard (Xcode 3.1.4), updating an old (eight year old) pkgsrc 
install fails:

...
===> Cleaning for pkg_install-20250417
sh-3.2# bmake package update
===> Installing dependencies for pkg_install-20250417
==========================================================================
The supported build options for pkg_install are:

	inet6 openssl

The currently selected options are:

	inet6

You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
or the following variable.  Its current value is shown:

	PKG_OPTIONS.libfetch (not defined)

==========================================================================
==========================================================================
The following variables will affect the build process of this package,
pkg_install-20250417.  Their current value is shown below:

        * SSLCERTBUNDLE (not defined)
        * SSLCERTS = /usr/local/etc/openssl/certs
        * SSLDIR = /usr/local/etc/openssl
        * SSLKEYS = /usr/local/etc/openssl/private

You may want to abort the process now with CTRL-C and change the value
of variables in the first group before continuing.  Be sure to run
`/usr/local/bin/bmake clean' after the changes.
==========================================================================

So instead I tried to bootstrap (mv /usr/local /usr/local.old):

Running pkg_rolling-replace on my machine running Tiger worked fine, 
although it was last updated less than a year ago.

Hopefully Leopard isn't too old for pkgsrc?
