>Description:
Chapter 2 of the pkgsrc documentation at
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/platforms.html
fails to mention bmake. While the pkgsrc.org index page makes a
note, a potential user may not locate it after following the
"Complete pkgsrc documentation" link, which points to the
above url.

>How-To-Repeat:
        
>Fix:
A quick note in an obvious place on the aforementioned page
would be helpful. Additionally, if pkgsrc could be made to
recognise if an incompatible make/bmake is being used and
notify the user it would be more newbie-friendly.
