This looks like the same error I'm getting on Irix.  As far as I can
tell, it's got to do with buildlink2's substitution of
-DLIBDIR=\"/usr/pkg/lib\"

In /usr/pkgsrc/converters/work/.buildlink/bin/.logic-trans you probably
find

-DLIBDIR=\"/usr/pkg/lib\") arg="-DLIBDIR=\\\"/usr/pkg/lib\\\"" ;; #1
-DLIBDIR=\\/usr/pkg/lib\\) arg="-DLIBDIR=\\\/usr/pkg/lib\\\" ;; #1

Note that the first one is correct, while the second one is a false
duplicate (I believe), leading to the above error.

If you add 'set -x' to your /usr/pkg/bin/libtool and to
/usr/pkgsrc/mk/buildlink2/wrapper.sh you will get a lot of debugging
output that shows how where and when the paramter is substituted.  Maybe
that can help to track down the problem.  You may also want to set
PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 in /etc/mk.conf.  (It generates a lot of
debugging output, you probably want to redirect all output (stdout and
stderr) to a log file.)
