Figures.

I think I have a handle on what's happening.  Doing "make -d A
show-var ..." reveals that

  work/.stage-install_makevars.mk

is being sourced, and there I find among other things:

d3: {195} pwd
/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/ffmpeg7
d3: {196} ls -l work/.stage-install_makevars.mk
-rw-r--r--  1 he  125  9669 Jun 19 22:52 work/.stage-install_makevars.mk
d3: {197} grep gnutls work/.stage-install_makevars.mk
BUILDLINK_PREFIX.gnutls=        /usr/pkg
PKG_BUILD_OPTIONS.gnutls=       
_BLNK_PKG_DBDIR.gnutls= /usr/pkg/pkgdb/gnutls-3.8.9nb1
d3: {198} 

If I move it away, I get:

d3: {199} mv work work.old
d3: {200} make show-var VARNAME=PKG_BUILD_OPTIONS.gnutls
 pkcs11
d3: {201}

Note that this file is not old, and must by its location be
created by pkgsrc.  For what purpose I do not know, other than to
make confusing errors :)

And a look reveals I have a number of them, all recently created:

d3: {203} ls -ld */*/work/.stage-install_makevars.mk

In the bin they go!

We'll see how things fare thereafter.

I appear to have a build issue in qemu which looks different than
this one, so you'll likely hear from me again.
