Awesome! Thanks for the patches.

I've been looking into cross compilation in pkgsrc a bit lately, and
one thing I'm still trying to wrap my head around is how all of the
makefiles which use exists(/some/path) will work in a cross
compilation environment, especially all of the builtin.mk files. They
look for headers and certain files, but it seems that they use
absolute paths and would find what's built into the build system, not
things in the sysroot of the target system. Any thoughts on this? I
couldn't find it mentioned in prior discussions.
