SunOS mikdemia 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
>Description:
The following lines in patch-aa cause an error if you're using GNU ld rather than Sun's linker:

+ifeq ($(OPSYS),SunOS)
+LDSHLIB = -Wl,-B,dynamic,-G,-h,$(SONAME)
+endif

GNU ld uses -Bdynamic instead of -B dynamic; in fact it's useless Solaris, since dynamic objects are a default.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build graphics/netpbm on Solaris.
>Fix:
Either delete the incriminated lines (i.e. use the NetBSD default), or change them to

ifeq ($(OPSYS),SunOS)
  ifeq ($(LD),/usr/ccs/bin/ld)
    LDSHLIB = -Wl,-B,dynamic,-G,-h,$(SONAME)
  endif
endif

or something similar.
ideally, this flag selection should probably be moved to the pkgsrc Makefile.
