FWIW, I commited a fix not so long ago and changed the path in pkgsrc to
have ${LOCALBASE}/bin before anything else (but after the buildlink and
wrapper directories), so that this kind of failure couldn't happen.
AFAICT, it worked fine, and multiple packages were solved according to
minskim@'s Linux bulk builds (e.g., ispell-spanish, the package I was
trying to fix).

Check revisions 1.1556 and 1.1555 of bsd.pkg.mk.

I think this PR can be safely closed.
