Found the workaround in an old email from Joerg:

  Add CHECK_OSABI=no to /etc/pkg_install.conf.


When comparing 7.0.1 to 7.0, is it reasonable for the match to fail?
e.g., my guess is that those package are built on 7.0.1 with pkgver=7.0,
so should be fine - is that true? If so, do we want a

NetBSD)
            OS_VERSION=`echo "${OS_VERSION}" | \
                    sed -e's/\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/'`

in pkgtools/osabi/INSTALL?


It turns out that the only affected packages are:

devel/p5-perl-headers
lang/STk
net/net-snmp
net/oidentd
pkgtools/x11-links
sysutils/libgtop
sysutils/lsof
sysutils/pftop
