There are more packages which have this problem:

===> Installing dependencies for ogle_gui-0.9.2nb7
=> Required installed package libtool-base>=1.5.18nb5: libtool-base-1.5.22nb4 
found
=> Required installed package gmake>=3.78: gmake-3.81 found
=> Required installed package pkg-config>=0.19: pkg-config-0.21nb1 found
=> Required installed package x11-links>=0.25: x11-links-0.31 found
=> Required installed package binutils>=2.17: NOT found
=> Verifying update for ../../devel/binutils

[%$#%^$#$#]

I removed the ogle includes as a stopgap fix, but we still have these 3
other packages which includes the buildlink file, which asks the question
why we have this buildlink file at all now that we get this problems?

multimedia/ogle/Makefile:.include "../../devel/binutils/buildlink3.mk"
multimedia/ogle_gui/Makefile:.include "../../devel/binutils/buildlink3.mk"
sysutils/grub/Makefile:.include "../../devel/binutils/buildlink3.mk"
sysutils/memtest86/Makefile:.include "../../devel/binutils/buildlink3.mk"
sysutils/memtestplus/Makefile:.include "../../devel/binutils/buildlink3.mk"

grub and memtest86 have only pkgsrc-users as the maintainer where Steven
is the maintainer for memtestplus.
