Uh?

<on a Linux host : >

[chroot]root@e130:~/cvs/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/emulators/qemu# bmake help 
topic=show-var
===> ../../mk/bsd.pkg.mk (keywords: show-subdir-var show-var show-vars):
# show-var:
# show-vars:
# show-subdir-var:
#	Convenience targets, to display make variables from the command
#	line. Examples:
#
#	make show-var VARNAME=PKGNAME
#	make show-vars VARNAMES="PKGNAME PKGVERSION PKGREVISION"
#	make show-subdir-var VARNAME=DISTFILES
#
#	In category directories, show-var and show-vars descend
#	recursively into each subdirectory, printing the variables of
#	the individual packages. To show a variable from the category
#	itself, use show-subdir-var.


On OpenBSD, any other target fails:

oc@OpenBSD:~/cvs/pkgsrc/bootstrap$ /usr/pkg/bin/bmake help 
topic=show-vars
malloc() warning: unknown char in MALLOC_OPTIONS
bmake: don't know how to make help. Stop

bmake: stopped in /home/oc/cvs/pkgsrc/bootstrap
oc@OpenBSD:~/cvs/pkgsrc/bootstrap$
