The only option I can see that would make grafana work with older bmake 
is to change the checksum target to create a temporary file in /tmp to 
hold the list of files.  I really don't like this option though:

 * I think we'd need to grow a dependency on mktemp or similar.  Given 
   this is our fundamental checksum verification stage I am really 
   uncomfortable with it relying on world-writeable directories.

 * It would negatively impact performance for every package.

I'm happy with saying that if folks want to build newer grafana's they 
need a newer bmake.  I'm not aware of any other packages that are yet 
close to the argmax limit, so we could even add a dependency on the 
required bmake version in grafana itself.  If other packages start 
showing up then we can move the logic to mk.
