For the record, in case anyone is googling for this same problem, it
was solved by:
/bin/sh needed to be linked to /bin/dash instead of /bin/ksh

(However, in order to get pkgsrc to bootstrap in the first place under
Linux /bin/sh needed to be changed to link to another shell other than
/bin/dash).
