 The problem is not the package name, but the variable name. It
 essentially ends up as calling "make FOO+=bar", which does *not* set
 FOO+. I will fix it by renaming the variable, but I want to ask you to

 Can you add the following rule to Firefox's make file with a checkout of
 pkgsrc/mk from May 20? cvs up -D is your friend, reset it afterwards
 with cvs up -A.
 
 do-build:
        @echo ${MAKEFLAGS}
