Interesting. It's been failing in basically every bulk build for at least a year.

I see it too it looks like this one:

http://shadow.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/reports/2024Q1/NetBSD-10.0-x86_64/20240501.1349//ocaml-lablgtk3-3.1.3nb8/build.log

21 |  (action (run dune_config -pkg gtksourceview-3.0 -version 3.18)))
(cd _build/default/src-sourceview3 && ../.bin/dune_config -pkg gtksourceview-3.0 -version 3.18)
configure error: pkg_config not installed

And yes, pkg-config is installed. We had the theory that it was
because pkg-config in ${BUILDLINK_DIR}/bin was a script, but even
replacing that with the actual binary didn't help.
