Pkgsrc invokes configure scripts with an explicit --hots= argument, so
running ltconfig directly does nothing useful in this case.  If you tried:

    ltconfig --host=--netbsd

you'd see the error, because this is ths (incorrect) argument passed by
pkgsrc.

This should have been addressed by a fix I put into bsd.pkg.mk yesterday.
