 I can't reproduce this issue with make from a -current userland built
 on July 20th by TNF releng, so, yes, this would seem to be a recent
 regression. Having said that, it's still a problem in other contexts,
 regardless. I can reproduce this with the make shipped with NetBSD
 8.2_STABLE and 9.0_STABLE, since those versions don't define $< in the
 context in question. (The confusing thing is that "bmake" as built as a
 tool for pbulk builds will be newer than "make" from userland, so that
 particular version from pkgsrc does work here; sandboxed builds succeed
 on supported releases where a simple "make package" fails.)
