I understand this reasoning, in that case something like BROKEN_ON_PLATFORM ?

It's simply weird to have a package in pkgsrc proper without a hint that it
doesn't build on NetBSD. At least a commented note on the package Makefile.

It really doesn't matter what/how but, something. Right now, it's deceiving.

It fails almost straaight away, so in that sense is not a waste in this case.
But, again it should be somehow marked.
