 I tried, but I couldn't reproduce this either on a standard pkgsrc setup.
 
 The environment that I can see it is within the tinderbox chroot jail.
 I've tracked the issue to security/openssl/builtin.mk line 35 where it
 tries to define BUILTIN_VERSION.openssl.
 
 The result of that awk statement is blank within the chroot jail.  The
 fake openssl.pc file is getting created, but it looks something like:
 
 Name: OpenSSL
 Description: Secure Sockets Layer and cryptography libraries and tools
 Version:
 Libs: -L/usr/lib -lssl -lcrypto
 Cflags: -I/usr/include
 
 I think the makefile can determine the file exists, but it can't read
 it.  There are a number of null mounts within the setup, so their
 configuration might be the culprit in my case.  Looking back through the
 history of this PR, that's what happened to Aleksey as well, but likely
 for a different reason.
 
 Maybe the builtin.mk can be beefed up a bit such that if
 BUILIN_VERSION.openssl evaluates to blank then IS_BUILTIN.openssl gets
 set to no?
 
 Maybe that's treating the symptoms, but at least it would be more
 robust.  I'm not married to the idea, it's just a though.
