 Thanks for that info. I suspect one of the CONFIGURE_ARGS or MAKE_ENV or 
   the like contain a bad value. Please download 
 ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/misc/rillig/pkgsrc.debug.mk into some 
 directory of your choice and add the following line to your mk.conf:
 
 .include "${the_directory_of_your_choice}/pkgsrc.debug.mk"
 
 cd /usr/pkgsrc/graphics/cairo
 make show-debugging-info
 
 If there is some line containing the string @PREFIX@, we are on the 
 right way. Then please append the output to this PR, as you did with the 
 last one. If not, I'm helpless. :)
