It doesn't, really (check your build log, you'll see a copy of bmake
being built & that's what should be used)

If you remove the copy of bmake you installed yourself, does running
/usr/pkg/bin/bmake make any difference?

What if you blow away /usr/pkg & bootstrap again (without your own bmake
preinstalled)?
