 I didn't put it into hacks.mk because bsd.hacks.mk has the following:
 
 # This Makefile fragment automatically includes the necessary hacks to
 # make the package build correctly by including the package's hacks.mk
 # file if it exists.
 
 and setting PKG_FAIL_REASON does not "make the package build correctly."
 
 As for your second option, I think it is still better to tell users  
 why this package fails than to end up with an internal compiler error  
 after wasting so much time in compiling, especially in the case of a  
 huge package like qt3-libs.
