Hi all --
Thomas alerted me to the existence of a thread based on my blog post
prior to my joining the list, so apologies for creating a new thread.
Thanks for the hints. I'll note that I did not modify my /opt/pkg/etc/
mk.conf other than what the diff from the blog post adds (and I also
added MAKE_JOBS=3). I am away the next few days but I will try some of
these out when I am back. Thomas also gave me some hints to fix the
cosmetic AIX 2 vs AIX 7.2 issue which I also hope to fix when I am back.
Thanks.

Hi Brian,
Excited to see interest in pkgsrc on AIX!
I periodically re-bootstrap my AIX 7.2 machine to see if I can get perl
to build. Unfortunately it doesn't.
I'm using gcc10 from the AIX open source toolbox repo (rpms).
As of a few days ago I can bootstrap but cannot get perl to build and
that just leaves things dead-in-the-water.
My setup is below. Is there a link to your blog post?
