I dug a bit deeper, and turned up mk/features.  Comments in there indicate that 
you need to patch the files needing the functionality to conditionally use the 
nbcompat headers, in addition to just setting USE_FEATURES.

I noticed that although mk/features/features-vars.mk seemed to provide for 
setenv, it isn't mentioned in the list of features.  It grabbed my attention, 
because that's the function I needed.  :)  Here's a patch.

I patched the relevant files in the package, as directed, and tried again but 
get the same error.  I don't think I'd need to rebuild libnbcompat because of 
the patch above.  But libnbcompat isn't getting buildlinked, so maybe that's 
the problem.


Thanks,
