>Description:
pkgsrc mk-files use relative file paths to include other mk-files.
E.g.: mk/bsd.pkg.mk includes "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk".

This assumes that the file is read relative to the current directory
of the make process.

make however uses a more complicated scheme to locate include files.
In particular, it first appends the include path to the directory
where the file is located that contained the .include statement.

E.g.  mk/bsd.pkg.mk tries to include mk/../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk
which is even outside the pkgsrc tree.

pkgsrc still works, because you rarely have a mk-directory next
to the pkgsrc directory and make tries to locate the file also
in some standard directories and finally relative to the current
directory where it then is found.


>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
Replace the include paths with correct paths reflecting the
position in the pkgsrc tree. E.g.

mk/bsd.pkg.mk should simply include "bsd.prefs.mk"
mk/buildlink3/*.mk should include "../bsd.prefs.mk"

and so on..
