-file	misc/openoffice/patches/patch-dk
-descr	Using versioned symbols the special symbol _etext can end up
-	in the shared library with a junk value for the version string
-	instead of "0" for no version. Sometimes it is sufficient to
-	reorder the -l flags on the link line but the general hack is to
-	disable versioned symbols.

-hack	libtool nawk line length problem
-cdate	Tue Sep  7 01:23:10 UTC 2004
-who	jschauma
-port	mipseb (IRIX)
-file	x11/gtk2/Makefile
-descr
-	If we're on IRIX and we're using gcc, then, apparently, we need gawk,
-	as otherwise the awk invocation in libtool breaks complaining about
-	the ``Input record [...] too long'' near the end of the build process.
-	Oddly this does not occur using the mipspro compiler.  Possible
-	reason: using gcc we have longer CFLAGS.  Fix:  add USE_GNU_TOOLS+=awk
-	iff IRIX and gcc.  Problem: this might affect other packages as well.
-	One might consider depending libtool on gawk for IRIX.

-hack	security/libgpg-error awk on IRIX
-cdate	Sun May 15 18:08:48 EDT 2005
-who	jschauma
-port	mipseb (IRIX)
-file	security/libgpg-error/Makefile
-descr
-	Apparently, for as of yet undetermined reasons, gawk as built on IRIX
-	under pkgsrc croaks on regular expressions including a combination of
-	alpha- and numerical matches, such as the rather trivial
-	/^[ \t]*[0-9]+/
-	Let's use the system's AWK (ie nawk) for this package to avoid
-	breaking hundreds of dependents.
-	Speculation: somehow the regular expression library used to build gawk
-	conflicts with the systems regular expression library or some such.
-	Note: gawk from SGIs freeware collection depends on expat -- why is
-	that?  Does that have anything to do with anything?
