Strictly speaking, it is not _my_ patch.  As noted in my PR it was
provided to me by another user.

I saw that when I went looking for my old PR.

That is not for me to say.  Since it seems that NetBSD is the only
platform that needs this, unless it can be made conditional on the
target OS, I doubt it will be committed.  Consider that my PR has
been open for over two years...

The pkgsrc build system supports a variable LOCALPATCHES which describes
where such things can be kept.  See the pkgsrc documentation about how to 
arrange to use this variable.
