To clarify/repeat: This is not just an upstream bug. Upstream has
machinery in place to force --enable-new-dtags (RUNPATH usage, hence
LD_LIBRARY_PATH effective during install phase) regardless of the
default linker setup on the sytem. Pkgsrc carries a patch that
_disables_ that. Hence my patch is needed to fix the install in the
case of RPATH semantics (LD_LIBRARY_PATH not in effect) on the host
system.

So this really fixes a bug in pkgsrc with the incomplete patching.

Unaware of this nuanced discussion, I committed a slightly different fix to pkgsrc’s Pythons yesterday: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2020/08/14/msg218942.html
