 To me, it doesn't seem using this proper version.
 
 cube$ su - root -c ksh

 BUILTIN_VERSION.xpm should be 3.4f
 
 I have a similar problem with grep, native version being used in
 fontconfig, version which doesn't handle -w. To workaround, I
 added the following to fontconfig Makefile:
 
 USE_TOOLS+=             grep:pkgsrc
 _TOOLS_USE_PKGSRC.grep= yes
 
 The second line is not the right thing to do, but if TOOLS_PLATFORM.grep
 is set, it is used inconditionnaly in mk/tools/replace.mk
 But maybe I miss something?
