 [for some reason, the "gnats" recipient wasn't included
 in my original mail, and "mx20.gnu.org" bounced my mail,
 so I'll resent just to "gnats"]

 For now I've just taken what was in the pkg previously
 (syscalls, regexp, pcre, wildcard).
 Just as a makefile cleanup, the resulting installation
 remains identical.

 When I try
 ./configure --build build
 I get
 [...]
 configure: * check for host type
 checking build system type... Invalid configuration `build': machine `build' 
 not
  recognized
 configure: error: /usr/pkg/bin/bash ./build-aux/config.sub build failed

 The --build command line switch is predefined by GNU autoconf
 to specify the machine/OS the software is built on.

 I might do so later. Perhaps next week.

 Just had a brief look at it. Needs some work to recognize
 modern NetBSD correctly. Perhaps next week...
