 The symlink is only created when USE_X11 is set.
 
 I did have this problem as recent as April (on DragonFly).
 
 I just tested again in fonts/fontconfig and the problem definitely still 
 exists.
 
 I did:
 
 time make X11_TYPE=native show-var X11BASE=/usr/pkg VARNAME=X11BASE configure
 
 Which failed with:
 
  checking expat.h usability... no
  checking expat.h presence... no
  checking for expat.h... no
  checking xmlparse.h usability... no
  checking xmlparse.h presence... no
  checking for xmlparse.h... no
  configure: WARNING: Cannot find usable expat library. Trying to use 
  libxml2 as fallback.
  checking for LIBXML2... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not 
  be found or is too old.  Make sure it
  is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
  path to pkg-config.
 
 Notice the missing symlink (a real directory):
 
 $ ls -ld work.glacier/.*buildlink* 
 drwxr-xr-x  5 reed  wheel  512 Oct  4 11:39 work.glacier/.buildlink
 drwxr-xr-x  4 reed  wheel  512 Oct  4 11:39 work.glacier/.x11-buildlink
 
 The non-X includes are now in the un-used 
 work.glacier/.x11-buildlink/include directory.
 
 I still do not understand the need for that case statement. As I have got 
 rid of that X11BASE check for years on multiple systems for building 
 thousands of packages.
 
 I will get rid of the case statement.
 
 Feel free to assign this PR to me.
