If you've ever built a non-trivial amount of software on Solaris / illumos you've almost certainly hit math function errors like this:
error: call of overloaded 'log(int)' is ambiguous
I got fed up of adding patches to pkgsrc, and I believe I have a patch that fixes this once and for all.
https://www.illumos.org/issues/15209#note-4
I'd appreciate wider testing. I've already tested it in a full ~28,000 package bulk build, but changes like this terrify me, and you can't be too careful.
