Untill we resolve this, please take into consideration to avoid filing patches that use "netbsd-i386" in a way that breaks the other port. I've been careful to keep such incompatible patches without submitting, since I started. You can fix build issues most of the times by using _GNU_SYSTEM instead of _ARCH variables, though. When it comes to [netbsd-i386] tags in Build-\ Depends fields, both ports will want the same usualy. -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T, Ainulindale (Silmarillion)
