LOCALBASE is where packages will finally get installed. WRKOBJDIR is
different. That has to be a local dir. for multi-OS builds.

OK, I think some assumptions are wrong here. You've started the build like this:

./bootstrap --prefix /x/y --unprivileged ...
cd ../devel/rcs
export PATH=/x/y:$PATH
bmake

All that is correct, but, I'm if not mistaken, you want to use `make' instead
of `bmake'. But, that just can't be used as it is because the system make
has no idea that it has to use the pkgsrc stuff sitting in the `/x/y' prefix.

You'll have to tell system make to use the config. in `/x/y'. This worked for
me:

In `/etc/mk.conf', I added:

.ifdef BSD_PKG_MK       # begin pkgsrc settings
.include "/x/y/etc/mk.conf"
.endif                  # end pkgsrc settings

This made make(1) behave like bmake(1). Make sure to set WRKOBJDIR too.

PS. pkgsrc gurus please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this.
