Hi all,
I'm experimenting some trouble compiling software in -current, some  
packages compilation ends with this error:

(x11/xcursor is an example)

===> Patching for xcursor-1.1.1nb2
===> Overriding tools for xcursor-1.1.1nb2
make:  
"../../mk/wrapper/../../mk/buildlink3/../../mk/wrapper/../../mk/ 
buildlink3/bsd.buildlink3.mk" line 342: warning: Couldn't read shell's  
output for "/usr/sbin/pkg_info -K /var/db/pkg -qp Xfixes-2.0.1nb1 |  
/usr/bin/sed  -e "s,^[^/]*,,;q""
===> Creating toolchain wrappers for xcursor-1.1.1nb2
Syntax error: expecting "in"
*** Error code 2

some other packages ends up like that.
Unfortunately I noticed this problem only after going on 2.99.11 and I  
couldn't tell if it happens also in -release.
I posted here because on i386 these packages compile normally.
Question is if the problem is in the main buildlink3 or in the  
packages' one, or if on updating the system I missed something.
Best regards.
