I recall reading some postings about how bmake or something else
changed so that error messages (or other feedback) is hidden.  I
have been receiveing a lot of pkgsrc builds (different packages)
failing with simply  *** Error code 1  (And I think other
numbers too.)  Without any explanation on the error itself.  I
tried PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 but it didn't provide any answers for
me.  This last time it was with my bc package:  cd .  &&
makeinfo --no-split `echo bc.texi | sed 's,.*/,,'`  So I ran it
manually:  bc.texi:533: warning: unlikely character ( in @var.
... and so on ...  I see that was in my notes.   Thank you,
