No. It's a fact that there are differences in Unix systems, and you're 
hitting one of them. We're not going to fool any non-NetBSD system into 
thinking it's facing a (full) NetBSD system. What we're usually doing is 
providing a "proper" fix, and submit it upstream, so that the software can 
even be built without pkgsrc in the future. This benefits the full Open 
Source community, not only the part that uses pkgsrc.
