 Similarly, it isn't possible to fix NetBSD base problems by pkgsrc.
 
 You can use tools (bmake) from pkgsrc, if you don't want to update NetBSD base.
 It is the solution provided by pkgsrc.
 You are probably using pkg_install tools from pkgsrc instead of NetBSD-4.0's 
one,
 you can use OpenSSL from pkgsrc for security fix instead of vulnerable 
NetBSD-4.0's one.
 Then why not for bmake?
