I've seen your mail for some days, and I think you deserve to get  some
kind of an answer.

I'm somewhat ashamed of what I'm going to say.

I had a problem with quite another lib, when I built my amd64, NetBsd 5.1,
2010Q4 from source.  In stead of filing a PR, I simply loaded the binary package
 and made pkg_add.  and then started my thread again.

 I have some experience with a commercial BSD-system, way back i the 1990ies
It was very important that it was built in a certain order.  Even though it
theoretically was possible to start in a random place, sometimes, you would
end up with "your left foot on the right one, and being forced to kick the ball
with the right".

I _guessed_ that  I was in such a situation, and then simply took the
shortest route :-(
I cold not have done so, had I been cross-building or been on a system
without pre-built
packages.

I hope that somebody will help you file a PR, but perhaps something similar to
what I did can help you out of your immanent trouble.

Kind regards
Hans
