Do we have an upstream contact who can review, merge patches and assist
with NetBSD issues? I have some unrelated patches for head-llvm support
that I'd like to upstream. (I might just send a github pull request for
this and see how it goes.)

Also our cargo packaging seems to have a problem finding system libs
in /usr/pkg. For example this does not work:
$ git clone git%github.com@localhost:alexcrichton/cargo-vendor.git
$ cd cargo-vendor && cargo build
[...]
error: Shared object "libproc_macro-e09101e4af9b1a82.so" not found

The error is that -L/usr/pkg/lib is not passed to ld(1), but I'm
not sure exactly where we need to add this. Suggestions welcome.

Kind regards,
