Back in January, when Simon added support for long shell commands to
variable assignments like 'VAR:= echo *', I tried to find a creative way
to work around this limitation but couldn't find any, not even by
inspecting the code paths closely.

Today, Simon added the same support to usr.bin/make when running in
compatibility mode. This fixes the problem on NetBSD but not on other
platforms. On those, devel/bmake needs to be updated to the current
version. Since pkgsrc already runs fine with that code on NetBSD, I
expect it to work out of the box after following the instructions in
devel/bmake/import-bmake-sh.
