I noticed today that USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no (formerly IGNORE_RECOMMENDED=yes) 
still caused the BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.$pkg to be added to BUILD_DEPENDS.

Anyone care if I do this?

The fix is easy:

in mk/bsd.pkg.mk

-.if defined(ABI_DEPENDS)
+.if defined(ABI_DEPENDS) || defined(BUILD_ABI_DEPENDS)
 .  if !empty(USE_ABI_DEPENDS:M[yY][eE][sS])
 DEPENDS+=              ${ABI_DEPENDS}
+BUILD_DEPENDS+=                ${BUILD_ABI_DEPENDS}
 .  else
 BUILD_DEFS+=           USE_ABI_DEPENDS
 .  endif


And:
