In trying to upgrade (via git pull from trac, the develop branch) from 8.2.beta5 to current develop, I am having difficulty early on, while building pkgconf. Honestly, I'm not even sure why pkgconf instead of pkgconfig is being installed (I missed that whole discussion), but anyway here is the relevant end of the log file for pkgconf. This is on Mac OS X 10.11, which ordinarily does fine building Sage (e.g. I just built 8.2 binaries from scratch with no problems, which I am successfully using myself).
