Works fine. 1) Depend on the GNU tools through the buildlink, um, stuff. 2) Add a config.mak via a local patch that sets gitexecprefix. 3) Add another local patch that sets up links within that gitexecprefix to the GNU tools. Remember to check if the GNU tools were installed without the silly g prefix. And pkgsrc itself works just fine without the silly g prefix, or at least does for me as a mere user (and as well as it does work). But if you intend on adding the package upstream, it'll need something to cope with the g. And pkgsrc handles local patches... Jason
