 While getting that into -10 is worthwhile, we should also patch this
 in pkgsrc because it's not correct for pkgsrc to not work on the 10.0
 release.
 
 There are two possible fixes:
    - patch Makefile.am to not use $^ (easy enough)
    - update the pkgsrc Makefile.common to force gmake for netbsd <= 10
      (also easy enough)
 
 but I'm not sure about:
    - what the procedure is for patching libarchive
    - what the interaction with forcing gmake and bootstrap might be
    - and therefore, which is preferable
 
 Please advise...
