 I am a bit confused:
 
 [/usr/pkgsrc/x11/rxvt] root@martins # make -v X11_TYPE -v COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG -v X11BASE -v XPM_LIBS
 native
 -Wl,-R
 /usr/X11R7
 
 [/usr/pkgsrc/x11/rxvt] root@martins # 
 
 
 but x11/libXpm/Makefile has:
 
 .if ${X11_TYPE} == "native"
 XPM_CFLAGS=     -I${X11BASE}/include
 XPM_LIBS=       ${COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG}${X11BASE}/lib -L${X11BASE}/lib -lX11
 
 
 so where does the XPM_LIBS value get lost?
 
 Running make with debugflags
 
 	[/usr/pkgsrc/x11/rxvt] root@martins # make MAKEFLAGS=-dv
 
 and grepping for XPM_LIBS shows:
 
 Global: XPM_LIBS = ${COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG}${X11BASE}/lib -L${X11BASE}/lib -lX11
 Global: SXPM_LIBS = ${COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG}${X11BASE}/lib -L${X11BASE}/lib -lXt -lXext

 Why does this Makefile do anything at all when X11_TYPE = native (besides
 the variables setup)?
 
 Especially why does it include ../../meta-pkgs/modular-xorg/avoid-duplicate.mk?
