There is also the issue that there are 32-bit and 64-bit versions of 
the packages and different package manager binaries for each.  I 
installed the 64-bit versions on my OpenIndiana system and learned 
that they are very 64-bit.  For example, the GCC compiler produces 
64-bit code by default.  Linking behavior is also different.

Putting the pkgsrc-installed packages in my executable search path 
caused stability problems for my software development practices 
(introduced build problems) and so I have removed it from my 
executable search path.
