A gentle reminder that BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD=build is incredibly toxic, 
and will break installs at run time unless you are very careful with 
dependency ordering.

Unless there are overwhelming advantages for it (I guess in the order of 
GBs of unnecessary disk space?) I would continue to strongly recommend 
against its use anywhere, definitely not in buildlink3.mk files, and 
especially for bl3s that include further bl3 files as that entire 
dependency tree will be polluted, which in qt6-qttools case is:

  qt6-qtdeclarative
      qt6-qtimageformats
    qt6-qtbase
        dbus
      expat
        iconv
        sqlite3
        gettext
      iconv
        glib2
      iconv
      gettext
      libffi
      pcre2
      zlib
      pthread
        pcre2
        zlib
        harfbuzz
      glib2
      freetype2
          bzip2
          zlib
          brotli
          png
        zlib
      graphite2
        freetype2
        png
        openssl
        icu
        libproxy
      glib2
        libjpeg-turbo
        pthread
      qt6-qtshadertools
    qt6-qtbase
      qt6-qtsvg
    qt6-qtbase
      qt6-qtlanguageserver
    qt6-qtbase
      qt6-qtbase
