Yes, the builtin.mk is for buildlink3.

I do not think so.

I see you already updated cdrecord and added builtin.mk and buildlink3.mk
for groff.

I don't understand why the buildlink3 is needed. I do see that the
builtin.mk logic is useful.

I have a PR similar to this:
NetBSD Problem Report #23010: x11/openmotif needs tbl
http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=23010

tbl is (was?) used in comms/ifcico-cm/Makefile, x11/openmotif/Makefile,
mail/fetchmail/Makefile, and net/netatalk-asun/Makefile.

There has been some discussion on having an improved tools.mk (so would
not be just for "GNU"). Maybe it would be useful for tbl too.
