Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/people/schwarz/pkgsrc/graphics/tiff/work/tiff-3.7.1/libtiff

According to the information I found on the web, the error message is probably due to a bug in the linker framework.
Interestingly the problem does not occur when compiling tiff-3.7.1 outside of the  pkgsrc framework.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I figured out that by not using -lc in the linker the problem is suppressed. Therefore the following patch works around the issue:
