    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.
