No, that won't work.  For example, we have OS_VERSIONS like '1.6Z' etc.
You'd have to actually compare strings, or strip out the major.  I think
somewhere in pkgsrc there are some examples of this, but I forgot where.

buildlink should take care of this already.

Probably not a good idea.  You are overwriting whatever definitions may
already be set.  Let buildlink do the right thing for you.

If it's a general problem, then just patching the one package doesn't
seem wise.  It should instead be changed in the pkgsrc infrastructure
itself (if we want to provide support for such broken systems ;-/).
