Yes, I ran pkgmk -d/prt-get as root. It must be the ./configure script that changes the permissions, but why would it do that?
Ask the fluxbox developers. Do you have any idea how many processes a configure script and the following compilations run? It's deeply insane to run those processes as root.
Nah, it's a bug in gcc. And in autotools that they don't workaround it. But most important it is to not run pkgmk as root, and you don't have to. This is an important security improvements I propose. # Han -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/crux/
