>Description:
ast-ksh from pkgsrc/shells fails to build on a NetBSD 7 beta amd64.

The last 12 or so lines of the compilation process are as follows:

mamake: *** exit code 1 making cmd/ksh93
package: make done  at Sun Oct 26 01:38:19 GMT 2014 in /home/gerard/pkgsrc/shells/ast-ksh/work/arch/netbsd.amd64
=> Unwrapping files-to-be-installed.
===> Installing for ast-ksh-20120801
=> Creating installation directories
install: /home/gerard/pkgsrc/shells/ast-ksh/work/arch/netbsd.amd64/bin/ksh: stat: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /home/gerard/pkgsrc/shells/ast-ksh
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /home/gerard/pkgsrc/shells/ast-ksh
>How-To-Repeat:
In pkgsrc/shells/ast-ksh do:

make install clean clean-depends

The build will continue to the very end, but creation and installation of the ksh binary fails.

To date no fix known

 I think this is the same problem it's had for years.

 Thank you. I wasn't aware of that. I searched the PR database and found
 John Baker's entries of July and August 2014 relating to i386.

 I haven't had this problem on NetBSD 6 amd64 systems.

 Some of these things appear only in the bulk build reports - we don't
 transcribe failed builds into the bug database unless someone reports
 them independently.

 As a result there are some long-time build problems that you have to
 follow the bulk build reports to really be aware of.

 That said:

 ...then it probably isn't the same problem.

 This package's build system is exceedingly fragile, so most likely if
 you examine the whole build you'll find some other problem earlier in
 the build log than what's above -- most likely it failed to compile or
 link somewhere, ignored the error, and chugged on, so at install time
 there's nothing to install.
