Yeah, illumos-gate packages are kind of their own thing-- if manifests
there are wonky, they should be fixed upstream.  pkglint might be of
help there, nonetheless.

IM(V)HO we should be pkglinting all the omnios-build bits though.  In
saying that, I realize I should be doing the same for the repo *I*
manage.  ;)

/me goes to made a todo item...

I also have a gcc5 install ISO which I need to confirm, but I think I'm good. If you're good, I'll mark you as a reviewer, integrate, rebuild the world, and see if a conventional "pkg update" works on my pristine bloody system.

Yeah, let's possibly take it as a followup item to fix unnecessary
dependencies.  +1 from me.
