They are installed into work/.destdir/usr/pkg/lib by 'make install' and
put into a binary package by 'make package', and that is put into the
system by 'make package-install'.

I recommend that you read /usr/pkgsrc/doc/pkgsrc.txt -- there is a lot
of information there about how pkgsrc works.  I'm happy to answer
questions that remain after you read it all the way through.

I don't think that's a safe conclusion but debugging is hard and there
are many paths.
