It's my fault.  It's because of how buildlink (buildlink1, actually,
since buildlink2 is starting to hit the main trunk) substitutes
${BUILDLINK_DIR} for /usr/pkg or whatever LOCALBASE is set to.  This is
fixable, but is low priority since I believe I fixed this in buildlink2,
and I'm going to convert all of the packages that currently use
buildlink1 to use buildlink2 instead.
