Ok, I guess we need to always provide that to pkgs then. We seem to
set that as LDFLAGS in bsd.pkg.mk, but this seems not always go its
way to the build env...

I have the X11R6 sets that are shipped with 1.3.3, yes. But I think the
xlockmore package does not use imake, it uses GNU configure... so it
somehow never sees or ignores our LDFLAGS. I bet other packages suffer
from this too.

I know that... but still this would help as fallback to make live
easier. At least /usr/local seems to be in there...
