Unless you participate in a "longest uptime contest" [1] upgrading is the way to go, which is especially easy in the FreeBSD world. Well, risk increases when you previously skipped upgrades for years ;-) I leave this option for your consideration. The affected "package" is the OS's libc which is such a integral piece of the OS that I would never replace that file with a copy taken from somewhere else. Unless you're under heavy time pressure I would prefer to fix OpenPKG, in this particular case "curl". That application is also available as a separate package which we need to fix and finally import that fix into the bootstrap. Please try to build the latest CURRENT curl 7.12 [2] package using the latest 1.3 RELEASE bootstrap [3]. Redirect stdout/stderr to a file and search it for "checking for strtoll". I have to know whether the detection of strtoll(3) availability fails or the action in case of a missing strtoll is broken. So far, all of our systems but hpux11.11 come with that function but both curl and the bootstrap also work on HP/UX. So I assume the problem is with the detection. Please send me (not neccessarily the list) the output log you created.
