Hi -

just found that a builtin.mk file is ignored if the
dependency is established by just a BUILD_DEPENDS.
So it appearently needs a full ".include buildlink3.mk"
and a "BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD=build" to make this work
as desired.
Is this intended? Is direct use of BUILD_DEPENDS
deprecated?

(Background: Some pkgs (eg sysutils/cdrecord) invoke
groff explicitely to format manpages. If it is not
available in the system, a buildtime dependency is
needed.)

best regards
Matthias
