>Description:
	NetBSD 4.0's make command contains a bug dealing with long
	input lines - this is long fixed in more recent versions of
	NetBSD, but is not fixed in any released version of NetBSD 4
	(which is still supposed to be supported by pkgsrc).

	time/gtodo-applet triggers that bug - and so needs to use
	a different version of make to build

>How-To-Repeat:
	I use pkg_comp with NetBSD 4.0 release sets installed
	(the use of NetBSD 4.0 (or 4.0.1) is critical to experience
	this problem, you won't see it on NetBSD 5 or later - even
	someone running NetBSD 4_STABLE from CVS probably won't see it).

	I have libkver to simulate a NetBSD 4.0 environment fully
	(but that's not important for this issue) - and I use
	pkgsrc modular xorg (X11_TYPE=modular) rather than installing
	the x* sets (totally irrelevant to this problem).

	With that environment, attempting to build time/gtodo-applet
	results in ...

===> Installing for gtodo-applet-0.1nb18
=> Generating pre-install file lists
Making install in src
[1]   Segmentation fault (core dumped) (cd ${subdir} &&...
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /pkg_comp/obj/pkgsrc/time/gtodo-applet/4x/gtodo-applet-0.1

	The core dump is from make.

>Fix:
	Assuming the change requested in PR pkg/42704 has been applied,
	the following patch "fixes" time/gtodo-applet, so that it builds
	correctly.

	A better fix would probably add the USE_TOOLS+= bmake line only
	for NetBSD 4.0 (it would be harmless everywhere, I believe, but does
	add additional overhead - though if you're installing gnome related
	stuff, you'd be used to LOTS of overhead already!)

	If the update in pkg/42704 is not accepted, changing "bmake" to
	"gmake" in the patch will probably work, but I have not verified
	that (it has worked previously - for other packages with the same
	problem.)
