Is this something that we can/should do during the freeze?  It would fix
the above mentioned PRs, and should, in theory at least, not introduce
any problems.

The change for each Makefile would be limited to replacing

=2Einclude "../../devel/libgetopt/buildlink2.mk"

with

=2Eif !exists(/usr/include/getopt.h)
=2E  include "../../pkgtools/libnbcompat/buildlink2.mk"
=2Eendif
