this build process is so slow that it literally takes multiple seconds to build a single C source file and up to 10 seconds to do a check in a ./configure. that is fucking wild; we've never seen a machine that slow.

the entire time it runs this pkgsrc bootstrap we're just expecting to get some impossible-to-debug ELF symbol error telling us something about SPARCv8+ not being supported on this processor, or that our compiler is too old and doesn't support C11 features (cause it doesn't, we're gonna have to boostrap a new gcc for that) or some other error that basically tells us "you are 100% shit out of luck"

it appears to have built bmake(1) which is hella encouraging.

even with 256MiB of ram, this MicroSPARC II is...... really fucking slow. Like really fucking slow

and the wget from OpenCSW has a broken libssl. grand, suppose we'll have to build *that* too, and then git, and then openssh, and then the mozilla rootcerts and oh gods why are we doing this, again?

well, it's building libarchive. Does that mean we get newer versions of tar(1) and friends?

yes! it's actually building, we saw this point of the pkgsrc bootstrap process when we did it on Darwin. Success?

Well so much for that:
libarchive/archive_pack_dev.c:40:9: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before string constant

@12 I'm trying a bootstrap on Linux right now and got exactly the same error.

@madewokherd GCC 4.6 from OpenCSW as your origin compiler? Or did you manage to find a copy of SUNWspro? If you figure a way to fix that, cause we don't really *need* libarchive, we can get away without it cause we have tar(1) and bzip2(1) and friends, let us know.

@12 I'm not using Solaris, this is on a Steam Deck which runs Linux.

@12 I got further by adding this to my sys/cdefs.h:

#define __IDSTRING(_prefix,_s) /* nothing */
#define __COPYRIGHT(_s) /* nothing */
#define __FBSDID(_s) /* nothing */
#define __RCSID(_s) /* nothing */
#define __SCCSID(_s) /* nothing */
