I've placed a new copy of libnbcompat at:
	http://www.NetBSD.org/~jlam/libnbcompat-20040809.tgz
The changes from version 20040805 include:
 * Re-adding a default value for pkg_use_nbcompat_vis; this was
 causing the configure script to fail on platforms that had funky
 versions of vis(). This should fix reported problems on Solaris 8
 and on IRIX 5.3.
 * Added setgroupent() and setpassent() compatibility functions so
 that pwcache.c will build without complaining about an incompatible
 pointer type assignment.
 * Cleanup: in cases where we test for a function using AC_REPLACE_FUNCS,
 move the function prototype into a nbcompat header that is the
 same name as the NetBSD header that contains that declaration,
 and include that file in place of the original one within
 nbcompat.h.
To fully test this package:
 (1) "cvs update" in pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install.
 (2) Move your old libnbcompat directory out of the way.
 (3) Extract the new tarball into pkgsrc/pkgtools.
 (4) cd pkg_install; make build
If you don't have a bootstrapped system in place, you can simply:
 (1) Extract the new tarball into a temporary directory, e.g. /tmp.
 (2) cd /tmp/libnbcompat/files && ./configure && make
Please test on the following list of platforms if you can:
 IRIX 5.3
 IRIX 6.5
	Red Hat Linux
 FreeBSD 5.x
 MacOS X 10.2
 MacOS X 10.3
 NetBSD 2.0_BETA
 Solaris 8
 Solaris 9
 Solaris 10
If it fails to build, please let me know and append a log of the build in
your mail.
	Thanks!
