Reread the part of my email I left from your editing. :)

How do you expect to create executables without a runtime environment?
Building most of the prc-tools environment without the one piece that
makes it usable to a developer is nothing but an invitation to
continual flamage and building a source package a la qmail is both an
ugly hack and results in a 37.5M package. Download that over your
dial-up modem :/
