>Description:
	mail/evolution and mail/evolution-data-server both encounter
	a bug described by joerg as
		"the spec for GCC is wrong and it
		 has only been fixed around netbsd-4.99.x"
	when compiled on NetBSD 4.0 (which is before 4.99.x obviously).

	Other gnome based packages have had the same problem in the
	past, at least some of them (like audio/pulseaudio) have
	been fixed in the past (see PR 42820 for that one).

	This seems to have started becoming a problem when the gnome
	system was upgraded to the 2.30 gnome release around July 2010
	(for me, the evolution packages have not been rebuilt since
	that ime).

>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to build mail/evolution or mail/evolution-data-server
	on a NetBSD 4.0 (unpatched) system (some later pullup to
	the netbsd-4 branch may have corrected it  - I don't know -
	for later NetBSD 4 based builds, but none of those has ever
	been actually released).

	Expect to see the builds fail with errors like ...

  CCLD   libart_lgpl.la
.libs/libart_lgpl_la-art_gray_svp.o: In function `art_gray_svp_callback':
art_gray_svp.c:(.text+0xf3): undefined reference to `memset'

	for mail/evolution-data-server - in both cases with rather
	more undefined symbols than I have included here.

	All the missing symbols come from libc - if the library
	in question were linked with -lc there would be no problem,
	but (apparently because of the gcc spec bug) that doesn't
	happen on NetBSD 4.   Since no real program ever runs without
	-lc linked in at run time, leaving those symbols undefined
	in the shared libraries that are being built, and satisfying
	them when ld.so puts it all together at program startup time
	seems relatively harmless, so that is the solution adopted.

>Fix:
	The patch below changes the Makefiles for both mail/evolution
	and mail/evolution-data-server so that on NetBSD-4 based
	systems the --no-undefined swictch is not passed through
	gcc to the linker.  This is really a work-around for the
	problem, but seems to be the standard NetBSD 4 solution.

	This fix originated with joerg@ or he@ not me ...  I'm just
	applying it to these packages.   With these patches in
	place, both packages now successfully build for NetBSD 4.0

	Apply the patch below in pkgsrc/mail and both Makefiles should be
	corrected (evolution/Makefile and evolution-data-server/Makefile).

	No revbump needed, as without this patch, these packages don't
	build on NetBSD 4 (and if a netbsd-4 based system has been
	corrected so they do build, the patch will not change anything
	that makes a difference.)

   |  This may also fix the PR:

 I'll try that, but I'm not sure that the fix/workaround proposed
 isn't better anyway - with the one big exception of it being needed
 in many packages, rather than just once in libtool - which exception
 would be significant if it weren't for the fact that almost all the
 packages that need the fix seem to have been found now, and fixed
 (though without fixes for all yet committed).
