>Description:
        Recent changes to the netbsd-compat stuff (and EMUL_DIST maybe)
        have resulted in lintpkgsrc (on a NetBSD 3.0 system)
        generating messages like ...

/usr/pkgsrc/emulators/compat12/Makefile: Cannot locate 
/usr/pkgsrc/emulators/${DISTNAME:C/-.*//}/emulator.mk in . 
/usr/pkgsrc/emulators/compat12 /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/compat_netbsd

        Each of the emulators/compat* packages is doing that.

>How-To-Repeat:
        Try lintpkgsrc -p on a NetBSD 3.0 sysyem (I'm using pkg_comp
        with libkver and the original 3.0 sets installed to simulate that)
        and just watch.

>Fix:
        ?

        Random guess is that perhaps something is relying upon some
        make behaviour that didn't exist (or work) in NetBSD 3.0
