I couldn't get that to build either, so I went for an alternative
technique: Since 7.8.866 works fine, use that to bootstrap 8.1 from
git. Needed to pkg_add git, bison, and autoconf, and for some reason
had to 'export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.69', but now it's stuck complaining
that it wants -fPIC, and I'm not sure why setting CFLAGS isn't
working.
