Building on Mac OS X 10.5.6

[Kurt Miller]

Hi Ronald,

We're having a bit of trouble with the bsd-port forest right now.
I think some recent pushes to the tree have interfered with the
OS X build but due to some repository corruption, I can't get diffs
of the recent changes back from mercurial. Once the corruption
is cleared we should be able to fix this up easily enough.

LC_ALL=C will be needed if LC_ALL is set in the environment to
something different.

DEVTOOLS_PATH is the path to development tools that don't come
installed with the base system. On OS X nothing extra is needed
to build OpenJDK/bsd-port. For FreeBSD and OpenBSD it points to
/usr/local/bin to get things like zip, unzip, etc. If you need
to set it for OS X then something needs to be fixed.

Can you show the last 50 or so lines of the build failure when
DEVTOOLS_PATH is not set on your OS X build?

Thanks,
-Kurt
