I ran into problems because I was building from a directory
"/work/cvs/pkgsrc", where /work is a synthetic symlink to
"/System/Volumes/Data/work".

It was a reminder that building through symlinks can cause problems
due to how paths are wrapped and unwrapped, and you should always use
the realpath to the pkgsrc directory, in my case
/System/Volumes/Data/work/cvs/pkgsrc.

Yeh I'll do that now that it has been independently verified.

Let me know if you run into further problems with other software that
needs similar fixes.

Thanks,
