Adding +BUILD_INFO works nicely. Thanks a lot.

If your reason for not using pkg_create is simply because you are
cross-compiling, you may find one of my blog posts helpful:
http://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/creating-local-smartos-packages.html
Ignore that it mentions SmartOS in the title, the instructions are generic for
pkgsrc, but are targeted for SmartOS installations - you should be able to
tweak the paths to make it work.
