 I updated src and xsrc, rebuilt/installed again this morning.  Then I
 wiped out ALL packages (checking for stale/leftover files) and started
 over from scratch.
 
 I built a number of packages eventually attempting the chain of depend-
 encies leading up to mail/thunderbird.  It failed the same way as
 described previously.
 
 Running:
 
    grep "@..*@" /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig/*
 
 produced no output, indicating that no files in that directory contain
 any "@FOO@" string.  (even searching for exactly "@" results in no match.)
 
 Just to be sure, I repeated the same search in "/usr/X11R7/lib/pkgconfig"
 and found the following:
 
    fontutil.pc:datadir=@datadir@
    fontutil.pc:fontrootdir=@fontrootdir@
    gl.pc:Libs: -Wl,-R${libdir} -L${libdir} -l@GL_LIB@
    glu.pc:Requires: @GLU_PC_REQ@
    glu.pc:Libs: -Wl,-R${libdir} -L${libdir} -l@GLU_LIB@
    glut.pc:Libs: -Wl,-R${libdir} -L${libdir} -l@GLUT_LIB@
    glw.pc:Requires.private: @GLW_PC_REQ_PRIV@
    glw.pc:Libs: -Wl,-R${libdir} -L${libdir} -l@GLW_LIB@
    glw.pc:Libs.private: @GLW_PC_LIB_PRIV@
    glw.pc:Cflags: -I${includedir} @GLW_PC_CFLAGS@
    xcb-proto.pc:xcbincludedir=@xcbincludedir@
    xcb-proto.pc:pythondir=@pythondir@
    xkeyboard-config.pc:datadir=@datadir@
    xkeyboard-config.pc:xkb_base=@xkb_base@
 
 It lookes like "/usr/X11R7/lib/pkgconfig/gl.pc" is the primary culprit
 with a few others likely to cause problems at some point.
 
 Are these stale files that weren't properly dealt with by simply
 un-tarring the release sets and running "etcupdate"?  What's going on?
