While this works now, after PR pkg/34061 was closed, I do not understand
why the patch stage is also completed if "foo" only depends on
"extract":

   $ make foo

   $ ls -1t work.i386/.*done
   work.i386/.build_done
   work.i386/.configure_done
   work.i386/.patch_done
   work.i386/.extract_done
   work.i386/.wrapper_done
   work.i386/.tools_done
   work.i386/.depends_done
